Description
The End of Time: The Next Revolution in PhysicsRichard Feynman once quipped that "Time is what happens when nothing else does." But Julian Barbour disagrees: if nothing happened, if nothing changed, then time would stop. For time is nothing but change. It is change that we perceive occurring all around us, not time. Put simply, time does not exist. In this highly provocative volume, Barbour presents the basic evidence for a timeless universe, and shows why we still experience the world as
Richard Feynman once quipped that "Time is what happens when nothing else does." But Julian Barbour disagrees: if nothing happened, if nothing changed, then time would stop. For time is nothing but change. It is change that we perceive occurring all around us, not time. Put simply, time does not exist.In this highly provocative volume, Barbour presents the basic evidence for a timeless universe, and shows why we still experience the world as intensely temporal. It is a book that strikes at the heart of modern physics. It casts doubt on Einstein's greatest contribution, the spacetime continuum, but also points to the solution of one of the great paradoxes of modern science, the chasm between classical and quantum physics. Indeed, Barbour argues that the holy grail of physicists--the unification of Einstein's general relativity with quantum mechanics--may well spell the end of time.
Barbour writes with remarkable clarity as he ranges from the ancient philosophers Heraclitus and Parmenides, through the giants of science Galileo, Newton, and Einstein, to the work of the contemporary physicists John Wheeler, Roger Penrose, and Steven Hawking. Along the way he treats us to enticing glimpses of some of the mysteries of the universe, and presents intriguing ideas about multiple worlds, time travel, immortality, and, above all, the illusion of motion.
The End of Time is a vibrantly written and revolutionary book. It turns our understanding of reality inside-out.

Beautiful Purse but could be better
Color: Denim Blue
I ordered this bag without reading the reviews. I actually read them after I ordered it and it arrived today.
After receiving the product I do agree with some of the other reviews. I REALLY wanted to give this five stars but I didn't like that the purse was shipped in a sealed vacuum bag which flattened the purse and put it in a purse bag. I do love the leather, material, and style of the bag. I also love that it is a great size. I also think the price is a little expensive considering that the purse is out of form and placed in a plastic sealed bag. Because I've always wanted a denim hobo style type bag I decided to keep it and I ordered a purse insert which cost me another twenty plus dollars so that when I wear the purse it won't tip over when I sit it down.

BULKY & BUCKLING HANDLES
Color: Tan
The handles are bulky, and the leather buckles where you normally would hold it which is very uncomfortable. If you try to use the shoulder strap, the handles don't come off and get in the way when holding the purse against your side. Unfortunately, I first used it well past the eligible return date. I'm so disappointed. I would not recommend this product.
