Synopsis
What is Now? This immediate moment, what we're experiencing right now ... it bathes us like air, or gravity. Yet when we try to grasp this quality, to scrutinize it or bring it into focus, it vanishes, slipping through our fingers like a dream. And worse, according to the most trusted models of physics, Now doesn't even exist. If all this is so, then what, exactly, are we experiencing? How do we carve out time, sensation, self, and meaning from a blank, Now-less canvas?
In In Search of Now, award-winning science writer Jo Marchant attempts to answer these questions with characteristic flair and clarity, taking us on a grand tour of the latest thinking from physics, neuroscience, cosmology, and psychiatry about the fundamental essence and individual experience of time. Part personal journey, part philosophical meditation, and above all a fascinating scientific exploration, In Search of Now shows us what we can learn about time, both from the outside in--the cosmic perspective of physics--and as we experience it, from the inside out.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. What is Now? It seems simple. The immediate moment, what were experiencing this instant, bathes us like air, or gravity. It is our connection with the world. Yet when we try to grasp it, to scrutinize the phenomenon and bring it into focus, it vanishes, slipping through our fingers like a dream. According to the most trusted models of physics, Now doesnt even exist. And neuroscience suggests that its merely a convincing hallucination.But if theres no special split second of happening out in the world, no universal frontier at which the open future becomes the solid past, where does our feeling of nowness come from? What shapes the flow of events and sensations that we perceiveand is this really just an illusion?Best-selling science writer Jo Marchant takes us on a grand tour of the latest thinking in cosmology, quantum mechanics, psychology, and neuroscience to tackle these questions and explore the fundamental essence of time. With characteristic flair and clarity, she shows us the creative force of a moment, both from the outside inthe cosmic perspective of physicsand as we experience it, from the inside out. In Search of Now weaves together personal journey, philosophical meditation, rigorous research, and above all a probing, scientific curiosity about how our livesand worldsunfold. A mindbending but brilliantly accessible exploration of the shifting science behind the reality of time.
