Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it.įrom Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations.
Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. The bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics and Reality is Not What it Seems takes us on an enchanting, consoling journey to discover the meaning of time. We are longing for a future that will not come. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons.
