TOP BOOKS ON TIME
The Order of Time
Carlo Rovelli writes in a lyrical, almost poetic style, supplementing the heady physics of time with quotes from figures such as Shakespeare and the Greek philosopher Anaximander. This bestseller explores why we remember the past but not the future, what it means for time to flow, and whether time exists in us or we exist in time. The audiobook narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch is particularly recommended.
A Brief History of Time
Legendary theoretical physicist and cosmologist Stephen Hawking's 1988 masterpiece is commonly considered the most important book in popular science ever published. It tackles fundamental questions about where the universe came from and the nature of time itself.
The Direction of Time
Reichenbach analyzed the philosophical implications of discoveries about time made by physicists with the clarity that characterizes analytical philosophy at its best. He was the first to fully grasp that entropy growth is the only law of physics distinguishing past from future, making this essential for understanding time's arrow.
Now: The Physics of Time
