This book represents a journey through the history of science in regards to the concept of time specifically the question as to whether it is absolute relative or irreversible. The best-known contribution or at least the most popular one came from Einstein. He took the illusion that time was universal a concept dating back essentially to Galileo and Newton and shattered it both within and without the scientific community. Thermodynamics teaches us that time has a preferential direction i.e. forward and is irreversible as shown by Prigogine and his theories on dissipative structures and complex systems. Time is not only an external spectator to what happens but assiduously takes part in making it happen. The concept of thermodynamics shows us how time is linked with environmental issues as creator and destroyer. The author explores the relationships of cause and effect and how it can help in measuring the various eras of the planet as well as understanding the beings that inhabit it. This book will be a valuable read for students researchers and interested laypersons alike.
