From the Dust Jacket: "In this highly provocative volume, Barbour presents the basic evidence for the nonexistence of time, explaining what a timeless universe is like and showing how the world will nonetheless be experienced as intensely temporal. It is a book that strikes at the heart of modern physics, and casts doubt on Einstein's greatest contribution, the space-time continuum theory, but that also points to the solution of one of the greatest paradoxes of modern science: the chasm between classical and quantum physics... [The] author treats us to an enticing look at some of the mysteries of the universe and presents intriguing ideas about multiple worlds, time travel, immortality, and above all, the illusion of motion." Hard Cover. Fine condition./Fine dust jacket.. 8vo. x, 371pp. .
