This book is unique and exceptional in dealing with the notion of
physical time rigorously, both logically and empirically. The
central theme is the intimate relation between physical time and
cosmic gravity. It establishes and explains, in an accessible
manner, the one crucial physical fact that has been missed in the
development of modern physics-that the enormous gravity of the
matter and energy in the Universe is the controller and cause of
the relativistic time. The material in the book is accurate and
free of the ambiguities in the discussion of time and its
modifications (dilation), synchronization of clocks, and
simultaneity. The contents go beyond the current theories of
relativity that fail to incorporate the cosmic gravity in their
structure. The discussion of clocks in satellite navigational
systems (like the GPS) is the most complete and accurate. The book
offers several new insights, and it is the only available treatise
on the complete physical truth about time. The contents are
addressed to a wide range of readers, from general readers and
students to experienced researchers, and will also appeal well to
philosophers and historians of physics. This book has the enabling
quality to deal with difficult questions about physical time, with
unprecedented clarity and without paradoxes.
