IT'S TIME: From The Beginning To The Future - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

IT'S TIME, explores the concept and phenomenon of time throughout the history of human experience on Earth. Even more than the two evolutionary “inventions” of language and tool-making, time may be the greatest distinguishing achievement of humankind. IT'S TIME widely explores time from its first human conceptions to the latest knowledge about time in the worlds of science, philosophy, the arts and spirituality, in a lucid, entertaining and highly intelligible read on a broad range of topics. First tracing its existence in biology, psychology and medicine, time's development is explored through dreams, mythology, language, literature, and the creative arts. With studies in philosophy, spirituality, and religion, time reveals itself as both a vehicle for intellectual "time travel" and a carrier of love by its creators across all of time. Examining the human occupation of our planet, the invention of time-keeping and the geological record, the reader is intriguingly led through theories in anthropology, traditional physics, and ultimately quantum mechanics and cosmology.
