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.

It is a book that strikes at the heart of modern physics. It casts doubt on Einstein's greatest contribution, the spacetime continu 606 $aSpace and time 606 $aRelativity (Physics) 606 $aQuantum theory 615 0$aSpace and time. 615 0$aRelativity (Physics) 615 0$aQuantum theory. 676 $a530.11 700 $aBarbour$b Julian B$042738 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959847603321 996 $aThe end of time$94445916 997 $aUNINA
