The order of time

The order of time

Carlo Rovelli ; translated by Erica Segre and Simon Carnell
Book - 2018

Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does it mean for time to "flow"? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike.--
