Contents:
The problem of time -- Lost time: relativity theory -- Tearing spacetime asunder -- Quantum becoming? -- Intimations of quantum gravitational time -- The differences between time and space -- Laws, systems, and time -- Looking at the world sideways -- Do we experience the present? -- Stuck in the common now -- The flow of time: stitching the world together -- Explaining the temporal value asymmetry -- Moving past the ABCs of time -- Putting it all together.
Summary: The flow of time is a deep, significant and universal aspect of human life. Yet it remains a mystery and many dismiss the flow of time as illusory. Craig Callender explores this puzzle, and offers a fascinating explanation of why creatures experience time as flowing - even if, as physics suggests, it isn't.
