Time
The notion of Time has fascinated and puzzled humankind since its earliest beginnings. Our understanding of time, however limited it might be, has shaped our values and pursuits throughout our development as a species. Concepts of time differ through eras and across cultures. Time’s persistence feeds our urge to recover the past and envision the future. And it gives structure—and poignancy—to our moments, our days, and our lives.
