«About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution» is Paul Davies's popular science essay, published by Penguin in paperback (320 pages, in English).
Davies examines what time is, whether it had a beginning and where it flows, and how Einstein's relativity forced the question to be reconsidered. The essay combines big bang, chaos theory and quantum physics with open questions: whether the passage of time is an illusion, whether there are objects older than the universe, or whether travel to the past is conceivable.
Non-fiction work on physics and cosmology, originally published in 1995; this Penguin edition dates from 1996.
Will appeal to popular science readers drawn to cosmology, relativity and the debate about time.
