Einstein's time can be warped, leading to bizarre possibilities such as black holes and time travel, while making a nonsense of our perception of a 'now' or a division of time into past, present and future.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eAbout Time\u003c\/i\u003e Paul Davies tackles the tough questions about time, including the strange relationship between physical time and our psychological perception of it. He gives straightforward descriptions of topics such as the theory of relativity, the relation between time dilation and the speed of light and Hawking's 'imaginary time'. He concludes that, despite decades of progress in unravelling the mysteries of time, the revolution is still underway.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Confirms his place as one of the most lucid and readable science writers today' - \u003ci\u003eSunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Intriguing and important . a fascinating discussion of why Einstein's can't be the last word on the subject' - \u003ci\u003eIndependent on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Sublime stuff for armchair physicists' - \u003ci\u003eGuardian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'A tour of some of the most exciting - and outlandish - work in modern physics .
