Hey Book Nerds and readers! It's book club time, and we're reading the mind-bending Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli… and we're back reading about entropy, time, human experience, relativity and time travel… this is a book club, but not as you know it. Is it the best book club on Spotify? It's our favourite….
Benjamin Franklin said, ”once you lose it, you’ll never find it again.” Theophrastrus said, ”it was the most valuable thing you can spend.” Pericles said it was ”the wisest counsellor of all.” Oscar Wilde said ”punctuality steals it away.”
Turns out they were all wrong.
Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein:
“The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”
Or,
“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”
Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.”
Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.”
Time really is all we have. And in this months book club, we're talking about it in more detail than we ever thought possible. We're reading:
– The Order of Time, by Carlo Rovelli.
Please Enjoy The Book.
===============================

Tom Whipple: ”An elegantly concise primer that makes theoretical physics intelligible stunningly written.”
