Description
About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution explores the puzzles and paradoxes of time that have puzzled thinkers throughout history. Albert Einstein's theory of relativity revolutionised our understanding of time, yet also presented new mysteries.
Paul Davies delves into the tough questions about time, including the relationship between physical time and our psychological perception of it. He provides clear explanations of topics such as the theory of relativity, time dilation, and Hawking's 'imaginary time'.
Despite decades of progress in unravelling the mysteries of time, Davies argues that Einstein's work is still part of an ongoing revolution.
