"The Nature of Time: A Philosophical Exploration"

In a podcast episode, physicist Frank Wilczek discusses the nature of time, its role in scientific progress, and its conceptual evolution from Newton to Einstein. He explains that time is what clocks measure, and delves into the implications of Einstein's theories of special and general relativity, which introduced a more flexible concept of time and led to groundbreaking insights into the nature of space-time. Wilczek also highlights the interconnectedness of time with various physical phenomena and the practical applications of precise timekeeping in systems like GPS.
