The concept of time has fascinated humanity throughout recorded
history, and it remains one of the biggest mysteries in science and
philosophy. Time is clearly one of the fundamental building blocks
of the universe and thus a deeper understanding of nature at a
fundamental level also demands a comprehension of time.
Furthermore, the origins of the universe are closely intertwined
with the puzzle of time: Did time emerge at the Big Bang? Why does
the arrow of time 'conspire' with the order of the initial state of
the universe? This book addresses many of the most important
questions about time: What is time, and is it fundamental or
emergent? Why is there such an arrow of time, closely related to
the initial state of the universe, and why do the cosmic,
thermodynamic and other arrows agree? These issues are discussed
here by leading experts, and each offers a new perspective on the
debate. Their contributions delve into the most difficult research
topic in physics, also describing the latest cutting edge research
on the subject. The book also offers readers a comparison between
the different outlooks of philosophy, physics and cosmology on the
puzzle of time. This volume is intended to be useful for research
purposes, but most chapters are also accessible to a more general
audience of scientifically educated readers looking for deeper
insights.
