Richard Feynman once quipped that Time is what happens when nothing else does. For time is nothing but change. But Julian Barbour disagrees: if nothing happened, if nothing changed, then time would stop.
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 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 continuum, but also points to the solution of one of the great paradoxes of modern science, the chasm between classical and quantum physics. Indeed, Barbour argues that the holy grail of physicists--the unification of Einstein's general relativity with quantum mechanics--may well spell the end of
