Want to Read $ 13.99"We can compare spacetime to an open, conic cup. We move forward in time by following the cone upward to the top. We move through space by going around in circles. If we imagine going back in time, we reach the bottom of the cup. This is the first instant, the now which has no yesterday, because, yesterday, there was no space. -- Georges Lemaître"-Thomas Hertog, On the Origin of Time: Stephen Hawking's Final Theory
