Krátky popis
'Entertaining and engrossing' Sean CarrollPress the snooze button
on your alarm once too often and you soon remember the importance
of good timekeeping. That need to tell the time connects you to
over five thousand years of human history, from the first solstice
markers at Newgrange to quartz crystal oscillating in your watch
today. Science underpins time: measuring the movement of Sun, Earth
and Moon, and unlocking the mysteries of quantum mechanics and
relativity theory - the key to ultra-precise atomic clocks.Yet time
is also socially decided: the Gregorian calendar we use today came
out of fraught politics, while the ancient Maya used sophisticated
astronomical observations to produce a calendar system unlike any
other. In his quirky and accessible style, Chad Orzel reveals the
wondrous physics that makes time something we can set, measure and
know.
