From one of our foremost thinkers and public intellectuals, a
radical new view of the nature of time and the cosmos What is
time?This deceptively simple question is the single most important
problem facing science as we probe more deeply into the
fundamentals of the universe. All of the mysteries physicists and
cosmologists face--from the Big Bang to the future of the universe,
from the puzzles of quantum physics to the unification of forces
and particles--come down to the nature of time.The fact that time
is real may seem obvious. You experience it passing every day when
you watch clocks tick, bread toast, and children grow. But most
physicists, from Newton to Einstein to today's quantum theorists,
have seen things differently. The scientific case for time being an
illusion is formidable. That is why the consequences of adopting
the view that time is real are revolutionary.Lee Smolin, author of
the controversial bestseller The Trouble with Physics, argues that
a limited notion of time is holding physics back. It's time for a
major revolution in scientific thought. The reality of time could
be the key to the next big breakthrough in theoretical physics.What
if the laws of physics themselves were not timeless? What if they
could evolve? Time Reborn offers a radical new approach to
cosmology that embraces the reality of time and opens up a whole
new universe of possibilities. There are few ideas that, like our
notion of time, shape our thinking about literally everything, with
huge implications for physics and beyond--from climate change to
the economic crisis. Smolin explains in lively and lucid prose how
the true nature of time impacts our world.
