The editors of "Scientific American" magazine explore the many concepts of time in this entertaining and informative look into a subject that is intrinsic to human existence. Original.
Time will be an entertaining, informative and surprising look at a subject that is part of all our lives (all the time!). Here are some subjects that will be explored: Time Travel: It's one of the most popular ideas in science fiction and has been a staple of literature for centuries, but is time travel possible? Why or why not?Time and Memory: Neuroscientists have studied our perceptions of time, particularly with respect to memory. This may be crucial to understanding the nature of consciousness.The Anthropology of Time: Different eras and cultures have completely different ways of measuring and describing the passage of time.The Physics of Time: An exploration of the meaning of Time in modern physics. How it is unified with the concept of space, and yet seems to be a dimension different from the others we know.
