What Is Time?

Time is the one thing you experience every single second of your life. And nobody can explain what it actually is.

You feel it passing. You watch it on clocks. You lose it. You waste it. You wish you had more of it. But if someone asked you to explain what time actually is, you'd struggle. So would every physicist on the planet.

We measure it down to the nanosecond but can't agree on whether it's even real. Einstein proved it bends. Quantum physics suggests it might not flow in one direction. Some theories say it doesn't exist at all. And yet every morning your alarm goes off and you're late for work, so something is clearly happening.

How much do we actually know about time? Why does it seem to speed up as we age? Can it be reversed? Is the past still out there somewhere? Is the future already written? And why does five minutes feel like an hour in a waiting room but vanishes in a conversation with someone you love?

This episode explores one of the most fundamental and least understood forces in the universe. The science, the philosophy, the paradoxes, and the questions that have been haunting the smartest minds in history for thousands of years.

🎧 You'll never check your watch the same way again.
