Time is everything. It dictates our lives—when we go to sleep, when we wake up, and when we have to be at work. But what is it? According to the experts, its simply an illusion—a social construct that can change simply based on mass and gravitational pull. This week, we try to understand this theory by, among other things, fumbling through the theory of relativity. We also look at some books and movies about time travel, including our favorite, Back to the Future.
