THE FUSE

I’m not a philosopher. I do, however, enjoy having my mind bent briefly into pretzel shapes by reading books by scientists and philosophers who have a knack for writing for broad audiences. I recently dove into such a book, In Search of Now: The Science of the Present Moment. In it, award-winning science author Jo Marchant makes a good case for the likelihood that, in real physical reality, there is no such thing as “now.”
