Overview

An entirely new way of looking at the relationship between science and religion is presented in The Eleven Pictures of Time. C K Raju presents a critical exposition of time beliefs from earliest times through Barrow, Newton, and Einstein, to current scientific theories of Stephen Hawking, chaos theory, and time travel. As changing time beliefs lead to changes in scientific theory and cultural values, mapping time beliefs, according to the author, provides a way to understand and demonstrate how culture has influenced science and how science continues to influence culture.
