Description
In this elegant exploration of one of existence’s most familiar—and elusive—features, Carlo Rovelli examines what modern physics reveals about the nature of time. Moving from relativity and quantum gravity to memory, consciousness, and the human experience of change, he challenges the idea that time flows uniformly from past to future. Blending scientific insight with philosophy and literature, the book presents a universe far stranger than everyday experience suggests, while remaining lucid, lyrical, and accessible to general readers. The result is a thought-provoking meditation on how we understand reality, and on our place within it.
