Résumé
One of our foremost thinkers and public intellectuals offers a radical new view of the nature of time, and explores its implications for everything from physics and cosmology to economics and climate change. What is time? It's the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion: if you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will.
Lee Smolin disagrees, and in Time Reborn he lays out the case why. Developments in physics and cosmology point toward the reality of time and the openness of the future. Smolin's groundbreaking theory postulates that physical laws can evolve over time and the future is not yet determined. Newton's fundamental laws may not remain so fundamental. Time Reborn serves as a popular primer and investigation of time, both what it is and how the true nature of it impacts our world.
"...at once entertaining, thought-provoking, fabulously ambitious and fabulously speculative."-New York Times Book Review"He challenges not only Einstein's relativity, but also the very notion of natural laws as immutable truths."-Economist "One of the essential books of the twenty-first century .
