The conclusive experimental proof that heavier objects faster was before our eyes all these eyes but we never recognised it. this book shows this fact/

Tiden er en gåde. For at løse den tager fysiker Troels Harmark os med på en rejse tilbage til antikkens græske filosoffer, videre op gennem naturvidenskabens historie til bl.a. Newton og Einstein og helt ud til forskningsfronten i moderne fysik og de største spørgsmål som, hvordan universet blev til. Tiden oprandt ved universets fødsel, og vi lever stadig i tiden her 13,8 milliarder år senere. Vi har en krop, der ældes, og kan ikke forestille os vores liv uden tid – vi indordner os under den, og tænker, at den bevæger sig regelmæssigt, som visernes præcise vandring over døgnets timer på uret.
