Synopsis
"Now", this precise moment, is the most complex and fascinating unit of temporal creation that the human mind can face. Richard Muller has decided to analyze the full potential of this seemingly unattainable instant that nevertheless shapes our present time. His work on the role of dark energy in the acceleration of the universe has allowed him to provide a different view of time and how it is constituted. How the passage of time increases disorder in the universe. How the future affects the past. These are some of the aspects that Muller shells out with an extraordinary expository clarity, very unusual in the attempt of physics, philosophy and even religion to grasp conceptually that slippery and crucial moment: the now.
Author: Muller, Richard A.
Professor of physics at the University of Berkeley, California, and one of the most important experimental physicists of our time. Muller has been awarded the National Science Foundation Waterman Prize, the MacArthur Award, and the Breakthrough Award in 2015. He is the author of the best-selling Physics for Future Presidents, based on his classes at Berkeley. With his daughter, he founded Berkeley Earth, an organization aimed at raising awareness among climate change skeptics.
