Summary: Relive centuries of theories and experiments in 285 pages !
Review: When I initially read of experiments that measure stray gravity waves from outer space, I was not only interested in measuring and studying these waves myself I was interested in learning more about their origin and cause, this book has been a great source of information to help me get started on my quest!This book is great for anyone looking for a 'one stop shop' so to speak on many scientific theories based around 'time' ranging from Newton law, relativity and quantum physics! In his book he puts many theories in perspective including Heisenberg, Bohr, Einstein and other scientists and observors of the universe. Davies is not biased in anyway and only attempts to summarize how while many studies of theory fit together, some do not! One of the things you will get out of this book is an explanation of how gravity itself affects light and time. It explains why clocks run differently on earth's surface versus out in space, and how the massive gravity force of our sun bends the surrounding light of stars that we observe here on earth. I think of this book as an encyclopedia.
