BEST BOOKS TO UNDERSTAND TIME
1. A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME
'A Brief History of Time: From Big Bang to Black Holes’ poses some interesting and unanswered questions, like if there had been any beginning of time or if time can run backwards or if there is any boundary to the universe itself. Stephen Hawking, the great scientist and theoretical physicist, tries to answer it all by drawing theories of the entire cosmos from Albert Einstein to Newton. In doing so, he also sheds considerable light on the dark secrets that still reside at the heart of time and space.
This book takes the readers on a journey into the depth of cosmos right from the big bang theory, through the nature of forces and the world of string theory in physics, to the different forces that constitute the universe itself, summed up as the theory of everything.
2. RELATIVITY
‘When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity.’
Dealing with the theory of relativity—special relativity and general relativity—and the considerations on the universe as a whole, this book gives an insight into the scientific theory about the relationship between space and time, the theory of gravitation and the universe.
A Nobel laureate, Einstein’s research and theories changed the world. First published in 1916, Relativity: The Special and the General Theory is regarded as the most significant work in modern physics. It continues to remain popular and highly influential.
3. ENDLESS UNIVERSE
This highly accessible book chronicles the last thirty years of cosmology; it explains the discovery of 'dark energy', 'dark matter' and addresses the question of when the next collision might occur between our worlds and the parallel dimensions in space.
4. HYPERSPACE
The first book-length exploration of the most exciting development in modern physics, the theory of 10-dimensional space. The theory of hyperspace, which Michio Kaku pioneered, may be the leading candidate for the Theory of Everything that Einstein spent the remaining years of his life searching for.
5. QED: THE STRANGE THEORY OF LIGHT AND MATTER
Quantum electrodynamics - or QED for short - is the theory that explains how light and electrons interact, and in doing so illuminates the deepest and most complex mysteries of the world around us.
6. THEORY OF EVERYTHING
Stephen Hawking's The Theory of Everything is a short book that can act as an introduction to the subjects of cosmology raised by modern science, but the book is only that; I preferred his Brief History of Time to this work because it was longer, more detailed, and covered more ground. If you are looking for a very basic introduction to the current thinking of astrophysicists, this is a good book.
7. THE TIME ILLUSION
Drawing on the latest ideas from both relativity and quantum theory, award-winning science writer John Gribbin (In Search of Schrödinger’s Cat) addresses the questions that have baffled philosophers since antiquity and Zeno’s arrow paradox. Along the way, we find that in the quantum world it is literally true that a watched pot never boils, and learn how physicists have come to terms with the idea of the four-dimensional block universe as an explanation of the distinction between past, present and future.
8. THE LARGE SCALE STRUCTURE OF SPACE TIME
This 1973 book discusses Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and its two remarkable predictions: first, that the ultimate destiny of many massive stars is to undergo gravitational collapse and to disappear from view, leaving behind a 'black hole' in space; and secondly, that there will exist singularities in space-time itself
9. SIX EASY PIECES
In these classic lessons, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics. With his dazzling and inimitable wit, Feynman presents each discussion with a minimum of jargon. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of modern times.
10. SIX NOT SO EASY PIECES
Feynman delves into one of the most revolutionary discoveries in twentieth-century physics: Einstein's theory of relativity. The idea that the flow of time is not constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike. But as Feynman shows, these tricky ideas are not merely dry principles of physics, but things of beauty and elegance.

2. Fynman lectures on physics
by Richard P Feynman
Timeless and collectible, The Feynman Lectures on Physics bundle are essential reading, not just for students of Physics, but for anyone seeking an insightful introduction to the field from the Richard P. Feynman's point of view.
It is also known as the bible of physics because it's all three volumes consist each concept of fundamental and under graduate physics.
It have three volumes,
Volume 1: Classical Machenics
Volume 2: Electrodynamics
Volume 3: Quantum Mechanics
If you're a under graduate student then also prefer exercise on this set by Pearson Publication for more benefits.

3. In search of shodinger's cat
by John Gribbin
It deals with almost everything but in reserchfull manner. So if you have a research aptitude then i recommend it because you will definitely enjoy it.
There are also many other books from John Gribbin and his wife Marry Gribbin like
In search of multiverse.
4. For the love of physics
By Welter Lewin
Physics is indeed a beautiful subject with a great amount of concepts involved and complex theories that never cease to amaze us. Through this book, author tries to portray the simplicity and the beauty of the subject in a lucid manner. Not only does it include simple to understand terms, it also manages to incorporate fun and ease of learning in an otherwise tricky subject .For example, the book starts with thoughts about the colour of the sky and clouds and then digs deep into the concepts that are involved behind the vivid colours of skies and clouds
