Synopsis
Are you curious about the nature of time-space and the dynamics of human lives within it? Dive into this book and explore these fascinating concepts. Time, the fundamental dynamo, leads the union with space, its perennial partner. Together, they frame a vast and restless cosmos where all individual has their unique time and place. Yet, humans do not survive alone; they share this beautiful but tiny planetary homestead with many other species. While humans walk upon Planet Earth, they simultaneously scan the stars, probing the unfolding saga of their home planet and the entire cosmos: 'Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are...' This book combines insights from history, physics, geography, and literature - not forgetting songs. The opening section reveals how humans live, remember, forget, and think through time. The next section highlights key features of time and explains why denying time is nonsensical. The final section surveys the collective human journey through time-space. Humans are a complex species, capable of both deceit and trust, hatred and love, conflict and cooperation. Yet, slowly, they are creating international networks and a global civics. This exciting trend is crucial, especially in responding effectively to today's urgent climate crisis on Planet Earth.
