Description
Why Time Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation is a thought-provoking exploration of our relationship with time. Combining philosophy, investigative journalism and personal reflection, Alan Burdick seeks to understand the nature of this deceptively simple concept.
Burdick's inquiry takes him from ancient historical sites to cutting-edge scientific laboratories, as he investigates concepts such as jet lag, internal clocks and the experience of time speeding up with age. Along the way, he draws on insights from a range of fields, including philosophy, neurobiology and psychology.
