This book is all about the history
of how man started to observe time, methods to measure it, and
anomalies and things we still don't understand about time..
Time
is a fascinating subject and one which affects our lives in many ways.
This book
covers a lot of aspects of the subject.
First, how did
measurements of time like seconds, minutes, hours, and years develop?
Next, what is
the history of
timekeeping mechanism from ancient water clocks, to mechanical
mechanisms, atomic clocks, and much more.
Lastly, what
are some of the
stranger aspects or anomalies of time such as premonitions, how time
and space work, and possible time travel stories.
And
philosophical questions like: Does the future already exist?
I wanted this
book to be a
comprehensive volume on time and so included lots of different stories
and understandings about time which indicate we may not fully
understand it yet.
