Will CERN 2007 add a new chapter to this discussion?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Commencing in 2007 the Hadron collider at CERN (in Switzerland) will be set to open and do what the US Congress declined to back in 1993...provide an appropriate facility for testing some of the more gross predictions of cosmic string theory. In so doing cutting edge contemporary research may yet provide additional material that -- obviously logically -- was unavailable when this book was originally written two years ago. That being said, this book is for the most part a serviceable discussion of the main issues regarding understanding time. As can be gleaned from a reading of the book, an arrow of time exists at a number of levels (including perceptual, thermodynamic and subatomic...all nested in that order) and its interesting to see the correspondences and disconnects between the various levels. Sadly, when discussing the perceptual arrow of time, Klein chose to use Freud as an authority...an example of what happens when someone chooses to write outside their profession. Perhaps a better book on this topic is Paul Davies About Time.
