As a warning against all too arbitrary mind games with physical concepts Ben-Naim's book serves its purpose - and above all it is fun reading.
- Michael Springer, Spektrum der Wissenschaft
The aim of this book is to explain in simple language what we know about time and about the history of time. It is shown that the briefest (as well as the lengthiest) history of time can be described in one or two pages.
The second purpose of the book is to show that neither entropy, nor the Second Law of Thermodynamics has anything to do with time. The third purpose is to educate the lay reader how to read popular science books, critically. Towards this goal, detailed reviews of four books on time are presented.
There are many popular science books on Time, on the beginning of Time and the end of Time. This book is unique in the following two senses:
- It explains in simple terms what Time is, and why it is not related to entropy
- It critically reviews a few popular science books which perpetuate all kinds of unfounded ideas about the relationship between Time and the Second Law
