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 addressesmany ofthe 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.
