Interesting stuff, can someone recommend a good book that deals more into this subject?

Preferably a book that’s entertaining to read rather than engrossed in mathematics

You might enjoy Time Reborn[1] by Lee Smolin or About Time[2] by Paul Davies. Note that the latter book is fairly old now (from 1996 or so) and I'm not sure how well it holds up now.

The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli is accessible to all (no math)

On a related topic, "The magic furnace" delves into the origin of the elements.
