What is the time? St. Augustine, a philosopher who lived in the IV-V centuries, once said that he knew what was the time until he was asked about it.
The book “Time: Graphic Guide” traces the story of the concept of time, starting from Augustine, the absolute time of Newton, the “conditional” time of Poincare, the static time of Einstein and ending with the idea that there is no time in quantum gravity.
Is time the fourth dimension is like space or in any way “flows” in any way? And if so, is it the point of measuring its speed? Is there a future? Are time traveling? Why does it seem to us that time is moving only in one direction?
To these tricky questions, Craig Callander and Ralph Edney answer in an accessible and exciting form.
