Modern physics has revealed the universe as a much stranger place
than we could have imagined. The puzzle at the centre of our
knowledge of the universe is time. Michael Lockwood takes the
reader on a fascinating journey into the nature of things. He
investigates philosophical questions about past, present, and
future, our experience of time, and the possibility of time travel.
And he provides the most careful, lively, and up-to-date
introduction to the physics of time and the structure of the
universe.He guides us step by step through relativity theory and
quantum physics, introducing and explaining the ground-breaking
ideas of Newton and Boltzmann, Einstein and Schroedinger, Penrose
and Hawking. We zoom in on the behaviour of molecules and atoms,
and pull back to survey the expansion of the universe. We learn
about entropy and gravity, black holes and wormholes, about how it
all began and where we are all headed. Lockwood's aim is not just
to boggle the mind but to lead us towards an understanding of the
science and philosophy. Things will never seem the same again after
a voyage through The Labyrinth of Time.
