Favorite Quote
Because everything that begins must end. What causes us to suffer is not in the past or the future: it is here, now, in our memory, in our expectations. We long for timelessness, we endure the passing of time: we suffer time. Time is suffering.
Carlo Rovelli
Introduction
Time seems like a pretty straightforward concept - it moves constantly forward, and our entire lives are based around it.
But what if everything we think we know about time is wrong?
Carlo Rovelli is a theoretical physicist known for his contributions to the theory of quantum gravity, who has held positions at Yale University, The University of Pittsburgh, and Aix-Marseille University.
In this book, Rovelli draws on his theoretical expertise as well as his work in the philosophy and history of science to provide an accessible yet mind-blowing explanation of why everything we think we know about time is wrong.
