The Arrow Of Time: The Quest To Solve Science's Greatest Mysteries (flamingo)

ISBN: 9780006544623
Author: Peter Coveney and Roger Highfield
Description:
In this book physical chemist Dr Peter Coveney and award-winning science journalist Dr Roger Highfield have questioned our understanding of science with their humorous reinterpretation of the most profound aspect of time - why it points from the past to the future. The author's challenge to scientific preconceptions about the irreversibility of time is designed to link apparently irreconcilable features of science, from Einstein's obsession with causality to chaos theory, from the cause of jet lag to the Monday morning feeling.
