Your Brain Is a Time Machine: The Neuroscience and Physics of Time

What is time? Why does it seem to speed up or slow down? How do we remember the past and anticipate the future? These are just a few of the perplexing questions that Dean Buonomano unpacks in "Your Brain Is A Time Machine". Drawing on the latest discoveries in neuroscience, Buonomano takes his readers on a fascinating journey through the inner workings of the brain, revealing that it is not a mere passive recorder of events but an active time machine. In a masterful blend of science and storytelling, he shows how our brains are constantly constructing our sense of past, present, and future, and how even the tiniest differences in neural activity can have dramatic effects on how we experience time. Whether discussing the psychology of nostalgia or the physics of time travel, Buonomano writes with clarity and wit, offering insights that are as surprising as they are profound. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the nature of time and the mysteries of the human brain.
