Description

The study by the two academics, prefaced by the astronomy professor at the University of Thessaloniki, Mr. Vasileios Barbanis, addresses the concept of time from an astronomical and historical-philosophical perspective, presenting us with the gigantic efforts made by humanity since ancient times to understand it.

After all, time constitutes an endless field of scientific and philosophical inquiries. The authors, developing their topic with simplicity, vividness, scientific clarity, and precision, make it perhaps unique in its kind and create a rich source of knowledge regarding both the historical and philosophical evolution of human ideas about time.

But what is time? What does it mean, and what forms the basis of human life and their social relationships? Is it what clocks and calendars represent, or something deeper and more essential?

We all say that time passes. But where does it go? Is time measurable? This question has occupied mystics, philosophers, and astronomers for centuries. The answer, however, remains stubbornly lost in its philosophical and metaphysical significance.

Throughout the pages of the study by the two academics, it appears that globally, the history of time and its measurement methods has paralleled the history and development of human civilization. The pages of the book are adorned with wonderful photographs, while numerous diagrams assist the reader in understanding the corresponding text.

Very useful are the astronomical knowledge provided in the book's Appendix and the rich Greek and foreign bibliography presented at the end of the book, which can be used by any reader who wishes to further enrich their knowledge.

"Measuring Timeless Time - Time in Astronomy" is aimed at and dedicated to those who are interested in understanding and comprehending the notion of timeless time, as well as amateur astronomers in order to grasp the concept of relative measurable time.

Additionally, the book by the two academics is a significant challenge of knowledge, aimed not only at "measurers" but also at the "mystics" of timeless time, the Ruler of the Universe!
