Theories that contain time as a simple quantity form the basis of our understanding of many scientific disciplines, yet the debate rages on: why does there seem to be a direction to time, an arrow of time pointing from past to future?<br /><br /> In The Arrow of Time, a major bestseller in England, Dr. Peter Coveney, a research scientist, and award-winning journalist Dr. Roger Highfield, demonstrate that the common sense view of time agrees with the most advanced scientific theory. Time does in fact move like an arrow, shooting forward into what is genuinely unknown, leaving the past immutably behind. The authors make their case by exploring three centuries of science, offering bold reinterpretations of Newton's mechanics, Einstein's special and general theories of relativity, quantum mechanics, and advancing the insights of James Gleick's Chaos.

Waugh looks at every aspect of time - from the Big Bang, through clock time and calendars to the end of time. Drawing on Waugh's polymathic knowledge of art, music, literature, science and social history, this is a hugely entertaining examination of the big questions about time: how were seconds, minutes and hours agreed; how were the various calendars arrived at and why are there twelve months in a year and seven days in a week?

Clarke thinks big, but Cliff Pickover outdoes them both." In his newest book, Cliff Pickover outdoes even himself, probing a mystery that has baffled mystics, philosophers, and scientists throughout history--What is the nature of time?<br /> In Time: A Traveler's Guide, Pickover takes readers to the forefront of science as he illuminates the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe--time itself. Is time travel possible? Is time real? Does it flow in one direction only? Does it have a beginning and an end? What is eternity? Pickover's book offers a stimulating blend of Chopin, philosophy, Einstein, and modern physics, spiced with diverting side-trips to such topics as the history of clocks, the nature of free will, and the reason gold glitters. Numerous diagrams ensure readers will have no trouble following along.<br /> By the time we finish this book, we understand a wide variety of scientific concepts pertaining to time. And most important, we will understand that time travel is, indeed, possible.

Until recently this seemed like an immutable truth in nature. However, in 1997 experiments were conducted in which light particles (photons) originated under certain conditions and traveled in opposite directions to detectors located about seven miles apart. The amazing results indicated that the photons "interacted" or "communicated" with one another instantly or "in no time," leading to the revelation that physical reality is non-local--a discovery that Robert Nadeau and Menas Kafatos view as "the most momentous in the history of science."<br /><br /> In pursuing this groundbreaking argument, the authors provide a fascinating history of developments that led to the discovery of non-locality and the sometimes heated debate between the great scientists responsible for these discoveries. What this new knowledge reveals, the authors conclude, is that the connection between mind and nature is far more intimate than we previously dared to imagine. What they offer is a revolutionary look at the implications of non-locality, implications that reach deep into that most intimate aspect of humanity--consciousness.

Against all the dictates of logic and common sense, paradoxes are the very lifeblood of science, the means by which a theory can be proved; without them science would wither and die.<br /> Etienne Klein is that rarity, a scientist who is equally at home in the world of literature and philosophy. Writing for those with no more than a general knowledge of scientific concepts, he draws analogies from the Ancient Greeks to the fables of La Fontaine, from Baudelaire to George Bernard Shaw, as he explores the nature of paradox and its ability to cast light on an apparently insuperable problem in the world of physics.<br /> Scientists and non-scientists alike will delight in his analyses of seven major paradoxes: the problem of wave-particle duality, the paradox of the twins in special relativity, the paradox of the dark night in cosmology, the paradox of Schrodinger's cat in quantum physics, the famous EPR paradox which Einstein set against the current interpretations of quantum mechanics, the violation of parity in particle physics and the paradox of the irreversibility of time. His fresh approach and avoidance of mathematical formulae not only present these problems in an entirely new way, but enable any reader to understand and enjoy them.

Brown Title A name given to the resource Superstrings Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cambridge University Press Description An account of the resource Geared to the layperson, a clear, concise, non-mathematical explanation of the "Theory of Everything" and its profound implications is followed by transcripts of interviews with most of the physicists involved in its development.<br /> Davies is always on point in stating the premises of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics and how String Theory alluded to uniting the two but needed Superstring Theory to progress. He does an exceptional job of interviewing those prominent in the field as well those 'not so enthused' by the final product sought. Davies points out the strengths of the theory as narrated by the researchers during his leading/guiding questions so as to clarify their intentions to us (the readers) as well as subjective interpretations of where the math, in this 'oh so new' research, leads them to render interpretations as to just what it is telling us about the substate of the universe in which we live.
