The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe.

Un delicioso ensayo que nos adentra en las particularidades de nuestro bien más preciado: el tiempo. ¿Por qué algunas horas pasan volando mientras otras se alargan infinitamente? ¿Por qué la sensación del tiempo transcurrido se diluye inexorablemente ante el tedio y en cambio se desvanece en los momentos de gozo? Hace tiempo que la ciencia definió el tiempo como algo relativo y sin embargo sigue siendo nuestro bien más escaso. Lo prueba el hecho de que somos la generación que más tiempo tiene para sí misma y sin embargo vivimos subyugados por el ritmo incesante de las agujas del reloj.
