The Return of Time. From Ancient Cosmogony to Modern Cosmology
Most people believe that time is real: the seasons change, the hours pass, and a person strives from the cradle to the grave. Most physicists, on the contrary, believe that time is an illusion — and possibly in vain, as... noted by the famous Canadian physicist Lee Smolin. The author of the books “The Life of the Cosmos” (1997) and “The Trouble with Physics” (2006) reminds us that all the difficulties faced by physicists and cosmologists (from the Big Bang to the “theory of everything”) stem from the problem of the nature of time, and acknowledging its reality could elevate fundamental science to a new level.
