Time is a source of wonder and mystery from "summary" of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli
Time is a source of wonder and mystery. We are surrounded by it, and yet it remains elusive. We experience time as the ticking of a clock, the passing of the seasons, the aging of our bodies. But what is time, really? In our everyday lives, time seems straightforward. We think of it as a linear progression from past to present to future. We divide it into hours, minutes, seconds. We use it to schedule our days, to plan our future, to reminisce about the past. But when we start to probe deeper, we find that time is far more complex than we ever imagined.
