THE FAR HORIZONS OF TIME - H CHRIS RANSFORD GEB...

What is Time? Assuming no prior specialized knowledge by the reader  the book raises specific 
hitherto overlooked questions about how time works  such as how and why anyone can be made to
be  at the very same instant  simultaneous with events that are actually days apart. It
examines abiding issues in the physics of time or at its periphery which still elude a full
explanation such as delayed choice experiments  the brain's perception of time during saccadic
masking  and more and suggests that these phenomena can only exist because they ultimately obey
applicable mathematics  thereby agreeing with a modern view that the universe and everything
within it  including the mind  are ultimately mathematical structures. It delves into how a
number of conundrums  such as the weak Anthropic Principle  could be resolved  and how such
resolutions could be tested experimentally. All its various threads converge towards a same new
vision of the ultimate essence of time  seen as a side effect from a deeper reality.
