This book addresses all aspects of Time, and is addressed to all readers from laypersons to research scientists. Setting the tone for the introduction are some amusing notes about Time in the Bible, which dovetails into the elusive question of the “definition” of time. Here, the author suggests a practical, or an operational “definition” of Time. This definition involves a counting number of any periodic process, and is later used to debunk one of the greatest blunders ever in the history of science; misconstruing entropy with time.
In addition, the book surveys the history of thinking about time, the perception of time, the development of devices for measuring time, and featuring time in art and humor.
All these and more are presented in a simple, and accessible language for a wide range of audience.
