ABSTRACT

Let’s get one thing straight. Whatever you have read or heard, nobody understands what time really is. There has been so much written about the nature of time, particularly over the past few years, that it would be dif‚cult in this book to contribute much that is original or that has not been discussed elsewhere. But that is not my intention. I do not feel as though I need to have trawled through the many excellent books (and some less so) that have dealt with the subject of time-although I have read a fair few over the years-and then to try and come up with some new ‘angle’ or clever argument not used before: my theory of time. Of course a lot of what has been written about time is utter nonsense, but there is much that, despite sounding like nonsense the ‚rst time you come across it, actually makes some sense provided you are prepared to give it some thought.
