Science Today on Time
Time passes and we can all feel it. Ancient civilizations used the sun, moon, planets and stars to determine seasons and measure the passage of time. Today, it’s possible to measure an attosecond – a billionth of a billionth of a second. Yet the question of what time really is continues to preoccupy humans over the centuries. Can we say that the future or the past really exists? How long is the present? What existed before the beginning of time?
