Now The Physics of Time [Paperback]

Mind-blowing&[Muller] posits a theory that seems at once plausible andsurprisingly, for a book with equationsone worth not spoiling.[A] concise master class in understanding the essentials of physics.Muller has taken a remarkably fresh and exciting approach to the analysis of time. With his usual clarity and wit, he proceeds from solidly established principleseach a fascinating story in its own rightbut when he gets to the meaning of the flow of time and now, he forges a new path. I expect controversy!Can science shed light on times dark mysteries? Richard Muller thinks it can, making his case in this clear, evocative, and wide-reaching investigation of how nature may generate the flow of time. Must-reading for all concerned with the why behindRichard Muller is a leading physicist, but hes also intellectually restless. Thats a potent combination, with the power to generate transformative ideas about ourselves and our relationship to the universe. InA provocative, strongly argued book on the fundamental nature of time. As an experimental cosmologist who has initiated some of the most important experiments of our time, Muller knows well where the limits of science are, and he keeps us interested by his ability to work close to that edge.The kind of mind-expanding read that will give you something to think about late at night. Muller's passion for his topic shines through on every page.Entertaining and at times refreshingly idiosyncratic&Richard Mullers new theory deserves a serious look, and his book presents important lessons in physics and beyond.A thoughtful, thought-provoking and accessible book that blends concepts from relativity, thermodynamics and quantum theory to elucidate how physics got where it is, and the missteps that might have led it there.From the celebrated author of the best-selling
