Does time indeed fly (or flow)? What defines the arrow of time? Why can we remember the past but not the future? Is time, like space, continually being created?
These are some of the questions we'll ponder in this course, based on a Great Courses series by Laura Helmuth, editor in chief of Scientific American, "Examining the big questions of time". (Spoiler alert: we won't find answers to these questions.)
Instructor Craig Stephan is a retired industrial physicist who has led many previous OLLI courses including "The End of Time", "The Science of Climate Change", "Cosmology", and "Paleontology".
This study group will meet Tuesdays beginning January 25 through March 1.
Pre-registration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
