Description
Why does time seem to move in one direction, from an ordered past toward an uncertain future? Drawing on cosmology, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, information theory, and the possibility of time travel, this book investigates the origin of time’s arrow and the fundamental laws that shape our experience of reality. With clarity, wit, and intellectual ambition, it connects the physics of entropy to profound questions about memory, causality, consciousness, and human existence. The result is an accessible guide to one of science’s deepest mysteries—and to our place within a universe governed by time.
