Time, Dead and Buried (Paperback)

Paperback. Time has ruled physics for centuries.It is said to flow, to stretch, to slow down, and even to bend. Entire cosmological theories have been built upon the assumption that time forms a dimension of the universe.But what if this assumption is wrong?In Time, Dead and Buried, Prometheus Christophides puts the concept of time itself on trial.Applying a simple rule - that reality must be supported by observable evidence - this book examines whether time has ever been detected as a physical entity.The results are startling.Clocks measure change, not time.Mathematics describes relationships but does not create reality.Gravity and light behave according to physical conditions that require no time dimension.In a dramatic courtroom finale, the concept of time is subjected to a full legal examination before a jury of evidence.The verdict challenges one of the most deeply rooted assumptions in modern science.If time does not exist as a physical dimension, what does the universe actually consist of?This provocative and thought-provoking book invites readers to reconsider the foundations of physics and to look at reality without one of its most familiar illusions. There is more magic in what is real than in the magic that is invented. This item is printed on demand.
