520 _aPOPULAR SCIENCE. Weaving cosmology with everyday, down-to-earth examples, Frank presents dazzling, provocative insights into how time passes through our lives - and what cutting-edge physics has in store for us next. A Palaeolithic farmer moved through the sun-fuelled day in a radically different way to a modern office worker bound into 15-minute Outlook increments - but both grasped time based on unseen but potent scientific discoveries. With the advent of "clockless" physics and other breakthroughs, science is again rewritng time and our experience of it.
