DESCRIPTION:Online\nDespite our ever-deepening understanding of the physica
 l universe\, we have yet to reach a consensus on the nature of time: does 
 it flow like a river\, carrying us along\, or does it flow past us? What i
 s the meaning of "now"\, the ever-shifting boundary between the future and
  the past? Did time have a beginning and will it have an end? Can it be st
 retched and squeezed\, or even reversed? Some even believe that time is an
  illusion - a trick of our senses. According to the most fundamental ideas
  in physics time might even be an emerging concept from something more fun
 damental\, like quantum entanglement. In a lecture based on his new book\,
  On Time: The Physics That Makes the Universe Tick\, Jim Al-Khalili will c
 hange forever the way you think about the passage of time and your place w
 ithin it.\nJim Al-Khalili is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics a
 t the University of Surrey and one of Britain’s leading science communic
 ators. He has written numerous books that have been translated into twenty
 -six languages\, among them The Joy of Science and The World According to 
 Physics. A fellow of the Royal Society\, he is a regular presenter of TV s
 cience documentaries and is best-known in the UK for his long-running BBC 
 Radio program\, The Life Scientific.\nWe invite you to support the author 
 by purchasing a copy of their book from Browseabout Books. Call-in orders 
 are accepted at (302) 226-2665 or you can stop by the store to purchase a
