“[Why Time Flies] captures us. Because it opens up a well of fascinating queries and gives us a glimpse of what has become an ever more deepening mystery for humans: the nature of time.” —The New York Times Book Review
“Erudite and informative, a joy with many small treasures.” —Science
“Time” is the most commonly used noun in the English language; it’s always on our minds and it advances through every living moment. But what is time, exactly? Do children experience it the same way adults do? Why does it seem to slow down when we’re bored and speed by as we get older? How and why does time fly?
In this witty and meditative exploration, award-winning author and New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick takes readers on a personal quest to understand how time gets in us and why we perceive it the way we do. In the company of scientists, he visits the most accurate clock in the world (which exists only on paper); discovers that “now” actually happened a split-second ago; finds a twenty-fifth hour in the day; lives in the Arctic to lose all sense of time; and, for one fleeting moment in a neuroscientist’s lab, even makes time go backward. Why Time Flies is an instant classic, a vivid and intimate examination of the clocks that tick inside us all.

如果今年是你生命的最后一年，你会如何？有多少梦想、爱情、地方还没有到过？如果人知道哪一年是你生命最后一年，这一年或许是最幸福的。幸福是活在此时此刻，因为那时那刻你知道如何挥霍时光
评分因为0.08s脑袋处理信息同步的时间差
评分也许是我最近心情很糟糕，对科普类的书都看不进去。这本书看到十分之一就弃了。
评分lost me in the latter half part of the book. The Second and the Hour are great.
