Top 10 Mind-Bending Concepts of Time

Is It Real? Can It Be Changed?

De: Lucan Merrian

Narrado por: Alex Hatzberger

Time. We live by it, measure it, race against it. But do we truly understand it?

In this fascinating journey across science, philosophy, and perception, Top 10 Mind-Bending Concepts of Time pulls back the curtain on the most perplexing force in the universe. From Einstein’s relativity to quantum strangeness, from the cosmic clock of the universe to the ticking of our own minds, this book explores the ten most astonishing ideas that challenge everything we think we know about time.

Is time a real physical dimension—or just something our brains make up to explain change?

• Can it flow backwards—or not at all?
• Could time travel ever be possible?
• And is time—fundamentally—an illusion?

In clear, engaging language that blends rigorous science with accessible storytelling, author Lucan Merrian guides you through ideas that have fascinated the greatest minds of every era.

You’ll explore how:

• Time isn’t universal—it’s relative, bending and stretching depending on speed and gravity.
• The past, present, and future may all exist at once—a concept known as the Block Universe.
• The arrow of time—our sense that time always moves forward—may simply be an illusion created by entropy.
• Quantum mechanics hints that time could be discontinuous or even non-existent at the smallest scales.
• Time crystals, a new state of matter, might represent systems that ‘tick’ forever without energy loss.
• Your brain constructs your perception of time, shaping memory, identity, and the illusion of "now".
