YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat even is time? Physicists still can’t fully agree.
Einstein showed that time bends and warps. Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli argues it may not fundamentally exist at all. And yet modern life is ruled by clocks, schedules, deadlines and timestamps measured down to fractions of a second.
Across ancient civilizations, humans developed ways to make the invisible movements of the sky measurable - first through monuments, then sundials, water clocks and eventually mechanical timekeeping.
Featuring interviews with science communicator Finn Burridge from Royal Observatory Greenwich and author Jonathan Martineau, Bianca Nobilo examines how time evolved from a natural experience into a system that structures modern life itself.
