About this Item

: En este libro, Alan Burdick nos lleva en una búsqueda personal para entender cómo y por qué percibimos el tiempo de la manera en que lo hacemos. Visita el reloj más preciso del mundo (que solo existe en papel), descubre que el 'ahora' en realidad sucedió hace una fracción de segundo, encuentra una hora veinticinco en el día, vive en el Ártico para perder todo sentido del tiempo e, incluso, por un instante fugaz en el laboratorio de un neurocientífico, hace retroceder el tiempo. 'Why Time Flies' es un examen vívido e íntimo de los relojes que laten dentro de todos nosotros.
