What the Heck Is Time?

The Ezra Klein Show is a podcast that I’ve been hearing a lot about, so I listened to it the other day. Klein has a smart, confident voice. He speaks with the intonation of a PBS host. I’ve never heard Malcolm Gladwell speak, but this is how I imagine he would sound.

Anyway…

In this episode, Klein interviews Dean Buonomano, a UCLA neuroscientist. It’s a conversation about time. If, like me, you have never been able to understand how and why time is relative – how it curves back on itself, etc. – this might give you some sense of it.
