Why read it?
1 author picked The Fabric of the Cosmos as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The question "what is time" troubles not only physicists and philosophers, but also captivates every human.

The book focuses on the notion of time from a cosmological perspective and explores questions from the realm of physics and philosophy. This book offered me ways to address questions that perplex me, such as: relative time and absolute time; whether time flows; whether time has a direction; the relation between quantum mechanics and time.
From Yael's list on time and its impact on human existence.
