In Newton's classical mechanics, time played the role of a
monotonically increasing evolution parameter. Einstein rejected the
Newtonian concept and instead identified time as the fourth
coordinate of a space-time four-vector. Today, scientists are
considering different concepts of time as a means of resolving
incompatibilities between relativity and quantum mechanics. Some
view time as an emergent property of a system rather than a
fundamental property, while others consider two temporal variables.
The purpose of this book is to examine the role of time in modern
physics so that the reader gains an increased awareness of time and
its place in our understanding of nature.
