Putting the first 6 months into an eBook, allowed me to change the order of these blogs, and to create a more coherent organization. The sections now are:
Introduction
Understanding Time
The Past
The Present
The Future
In my introduction, I wrote:
We are immersed in time. We take time as a fact of life and think very little about its workings, yet we are at its mercy. In a sense time is all you have: on your gravestone will be your name and the date you were born and the date you died.
What could we gain by obtaining a perspective, by standing a bit outside of time? Although the clock will still continue to tick, your relation to time will be changed. It is the modern human -- i.e. Homo sapiens sapiens -- sense of time that is the key difference between humans and other animals. And further I believe that time, as we experience it, is created by our uniquely human brains and is critical to our sense of consciousness.
