The Mystery of Time
The great Augustine of Hippo famously asked, “What is time then? If nobody asks me, I know; but if I were desirous to explain it to one that should ask me, plainly I do not know.”
The mystery of time has fascinated philosophers and scientists for centuries. Einstein held that the distinction between past, present, and future is a persistent illusion, while Hawking explored the possibility of a timeless reality. But what does modern physics tell us about the nature of time? Is time travel possible? What is entropy, and what role does it play in our understanding of time?
Using The Teaching Company course Mysteries of Modern Physics: Time by Sean Carroll, a recognized expert on the subject, we will explore these fascinating questions and much more as we examine one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics.
