Book: General Time Knowledge
In everyday life, “now” seems self-evident, but physics—especially relativity—shows that simultaneity depends on one’s frame of reference. Two observers moving at different speeds can disagree on events’ order. Meanwhile, philosophers debate whether the present is a moving point or an illusion, with all moments equally real in a “block universe.” People curious about these theories explore how time might be woven into the fabric of reality. Understanding “now” bridges scientific findings and metaphysical musings, reshaping our grasp of past, present, and future.
