The Physics and Philosophy of Time

Centre de Physique Théorique, Aix-Marseille University

54:54·2018·introductory level·Public Colloquium
Path step 6: Examines why fundamental field equations are time-reversible while macroscopic experience flows forward.

Explains why a single universal 'now' vanishes in general relativity and loop quantum gravity, and how thermal coarse-graining gives rise to macroscopic time.

From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Carlo Rovelli brings together physics, philosophy and art to unravel the mystery of time.
