Time: The Grand Illusion: from the series "The Science of Everything"

By Tj Allen

The Joke That Keeps Ticking

Time is the one thing everyone thinks they understand until someone asks them to define it.
It's everywhere, invisible, relentless, and completely uninterested in our schedules.

Philosophers call it a mystery. Physicists call it a dimension. Psychologists call it a perception.
Everyone else calls it "Monday."

For centuries, humans have tried to measure, master, and outwit time - with calendars, clocks, equations, and denial. We built sundials to follow its shadow, pendulums to swing with its rhythm, and atomic clocks so precise they could shame the rotation of the Earth itself. Yet despite all our cleverness, we still can't decide whether time flows, loops, or just sits there watching us panic.

Einstein said time is relative. Quantum mechanics says it's jumpy. Philosophers say it might not exist at all - which, if true, means this book is already late.
