Is time really what we think?

In his book The Order of Time, Carlo Rovelli writes eloquently about the meaning and perception of time through the lens of a physicist. He particularly focuses on the relationship between time and energy and the role of entropy in explaining the world around us.

He also discusses some of the philosophical questions raised by the contrast of movement and substance, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity and our “mistaken” perceptions of time breaking experiences into past, present and future.

The Order of Time is eloquent, poetic and well written and prompts many questions about the meaning of time and the reality of the world we inhabit. Recommended.
