About this listen

Time feels like it flows.
But does it?

In this episode of The Thinking Behind Reality, we explore one of the most misunderstood ideas in science: time itself. Is time something that moves forward, or is it something that emerges from change and comparison?

We look at how physics treats time, why clocks measure change rather than time itself, and how our experience of the past, present, and future may be shaped more by perception than by the structure of the universe.

This episode isn’t about equations.
It’s about rethinking what time actually is—and what it isn’t.

If this way of thinking resonates, follow the show for more reflections on science, reality, and how we understand the world.

Keywords:
