Well, It's About Time - Part I

It may come as a surprise, but “time” is the most frequently used word in the English language. From music (“Time is on My Side”- Rolling Stones); to literature (“It Was the Best of Times, It Was the Worst of Times” - Charles Dickens); to sports (time out and overtime); to movies (“Time Bandits”). You get the idea. But what is time really? Although we experience it, use it, and depend on it, we really never consider exactly what it is. This course explores the true nature of time from several viewpoints; from the scientific, to the cosmological, to the human experience. Time is as pervasive in our lives as breathing.
