Title: A relatively good little book
Review: Mr. Lightman enlightens us with new perspective about the nature of time. He proposes various worlds in which time assumes uncoventional properties and then he hypothesizes about the shape of such universes. I was genuinely intrigued by his innovative presentation on a subject which affects us all. How we see time's passage is relative and even subjective. And yet we tend to see it as a linear progression structured by clockworks. The human portrait of Einstein's life in Berne as a patent clerk before he became famous was quite vivid and a natural backdrop for Lightman's inventive what-if scenarios on time. You will never see time solely as a mechanical linear progression again after reading this accessible and easy-to-read book: I only wished the author had been more generous with a somewhat longer work. Certainly, the small portion he offers is rich and dense with meaning on a most timely subject.
