Looking at Time from a Physics Perspective 1st Edition

Capture a fresh perspective on one of physics’ deepest puzzles with Looking at Time from a Physics Perspective, 1st Edition by Patricio Robles. This compelling new work invites readers to rethink time — its direction, measurement, and role across the laws of nature — through clear exposition and rigorous insight.

Robles guides you from the fundamentals of classical mechanics and thermodynamics to modern treatments in relativity and quantum theory, connecting abstract concepts to experimental and cosmological evidence. You’ll find lucid explanations of the arrow of time, time symmetry breaking, spacetime geometry, and the interplay between entropy and quantum measurement. Mathematical treatments are balanced with intuitive examples, making this book valuable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, and curious professionals.

What sets this first edition apart is its blend of scholarly depth and accessible narrative: precise language, careful derivations, and thoughtful comparisons that place contemporary debates in historical and philosophical context. Readers worldwide — from university classrooms in North America and Europe to research groups in Latin America and Asia — will appreciate its clarity and relevance to courses in theoretical physics, cosmology, and the philosophy of science.

Whether you’re building a foundation in the physics of time or seeking a compact reference for research, Looking at Time from a Physics Perspective provides an authoritative, engaging guide. Add it to your collection to deepen your understanding of time’s mysteries and advance your study or teaching of modern physics. Order your copy today.
