Sinossi
Niente sembra più reale del tempo che passa. Viviamo la vita come una successione di momenti. Ma proprio come alcuni di noi vedono Dio come eterno, così i fisici comprendono le verità della matematica e le leggi della natura come costanti, che trascendono il tempo. Queste leggi dettano come si evolverà il futuro: non c'è libertà, nessuna incertezza sul futuro. Eppure, sostiene Lee Smolin, questa negazione del tempo sta frenando sia la fisica che la nostra comprensione dell'universo. Abbiamo bisogno di una grande rivoluzione nel pensiero scientifico: una che abbracci la realtà del tempo e la ponga al centro del nostro pensiero. Il tempo, conclude, non è un'illusione: anzi, è il miglior indizio che abbiamo per la realtà fondamentale. Time Reborn spiega come la vera natura del tempo abbia un impatto su di noi, sul nostro mondo e sul nostro universo.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Nothing seems more real than time passing. We experience life as a succession of moments. But just as some of us see God as eternal, so physicists understand the truths of mathematics and the laws of nature as constant, transcending time. These laws dictate how the future will evolve: there is no freedom, no uncertainty about the future at all. Yet, argues Lee Smolin, this denial of time is holding back both physics, and our understanding of the universe. We need a major revolution in scientific thought: one that embraces the reality of time and places it at the centre of our thinking. Time, he concludes, is not an illusion: indeed, it is the best clue that we have to fundamental reality. Time Reborn explains how the true nature of time impacts on us, our world, and our universe. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Codice articolo GOR005978683
