| Summary, etc. |
What is time? Is it something that has objective existence, like length or heat? Or is it just a man-made concept? St Augustine said that if no one asked him, he knew, but if he tried to explain it to someone then he had to admit that he did not know. In this witty and wide-ranging book Dr Whitrow discusses how our ideas of time originated; how far they are inborn in man and beast; how time has been measured, from sand-glass to the atomic clock; time, gravity and the universe; and whether time can be said to have a beinning, a direction, and an end. He gives a fascinating account, in layman's terms, of Einstein's four-dimensional space-time, and helps to clarify the mysteries of such diverse topics as the Maya priesthood, the dance of the bees, and precognition in dreams.
