Description

What is time? Throughout the ages, scientists and poets, philosophers and artists have pondered this question. This course will explore their reflections, from Aristotle to Einstein and beyond. It will include time keeping, from the stars to atomic clocks, scientific theories of time and spacetime, the literary imagination from the Greeks to time travel, and the many unknowns that challenge us today.
