He won a Nobel Prize for it. He publicly challenged Einstein over it. And yet his beautiful metaphors never answered the most basic question: what actually is time?\u003cbr\u003eBeyond Time traces humanity's long struggle with this question-from Augustine's confessions and the temporal paradoxes encoded in ancient Hebrew grammar, through the neuroscience of why birthdays seem to accelerate and why five minutes in a dentist's chair lasts longer than an hour at a party, to the radical new physics suggesting that time is not a backdrop to reality but an emergent consequence of cosmic rotation.\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on philosophy, neurobiology, quantum mechanics, and original research in cosmology, Boris Kriger dismantles Bergson's poetic intuitions with surgical precision-and then goes further. If the universe began as a spinning manifold with all its velocity locked in rotation, then as that rotation slowed, something extraordinary was released: the passage of moments. Time is the freed velocity budget of a decelerating cosmos. We do not move through time. Time moves through us, because the universe is winding down.\u003cbr\u003eWritten with wit, irreverence, and intellectual ambition, Beyond Time is a book for anyone who has ever glanced at a clock and wondered whether it was telling the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKeywords: \u003c\/b\u003e time perception, philosophy of time, emergent time, cosmology, neuroscience of consciousness, Henri Bergson, quantum gravity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47882564894871,"sku":"9798196011030","price":2020.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798196011030.webp?v=1781095921","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beyond-time-from-bergson-to-the-spinning-universe-9798196011030","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
