Hello,

I'm looking for books or articles on how to think of time and space. I'm a neophyte-non-scientist & just want to learn how to grasp the issues surrounding the infinity or non-infinity of space & how to think of the nature of time in either an eternal universe or a universe that began with the big bang. Any ideas or suggestions?

Astronomy news on Phys.org
Fabric of the cosmos by Brian Greene, or Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking is what I would recommend.
