Description
From Boltzmann to Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has undergone extraordinary transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves.
