History in the timeless universe.Richard Feynman once quipped that ""Time is what happens when nothing else does."" But Julian Barbour disagrees: if nothing happened, if nothing changed, then time would stop. For time is nothing but change. It is change that we perceive occurring all around us, not time. Put simply, time does not exist. In this highly provocative volume, Barbour presents the basic evidence for a timeless universe, and shows why we still experience the world as intensely temporal. It is a book that strikes at the heart of modern physics. It casts doubt on Einstein's greatest contribution, the spacetime continuSpace and timeRelativity (Physics)Quantum theoryElectronic books.Space and time.Relativity (Physics)Quantum theory.530.11Barbour Julian B42738MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461851203321The end of time2114521UNINA
