Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe"If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from the ground up, Smolin's Time Reborn will take you to the mountaintop." NPR What is time? It's the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will. Lee
"If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from the ground up, Smolin's Time Reborn will take you to the mountaintop." -- NPR
What is time? It's the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will. Lee Smolin disagrees, and in Time Reborn he lays out the case why. Developments in physics and cosmology point toward the reality of time and the openness of the future. Smolin's groundbreaking theory postulates that physical laws can evolve over time and the future is not yet determined. Newton's fundamental laws may not remain so fundamental. Time Reborn serves as a popular primer and investigation of time, both what it is and how the true nature of it impacts our world. "He challenges not only Einstein's relativity, but also the very notion of natural laws as immutable truths." -- Economist "One of the essential books of the twenty-first century . . . Smolin provides a much-needed dose of clarity about time, with implications that go far beyond physics to economics, politics, and personal philosophy." -- Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not a GadgetBinding Type: Paperback

A little goes a long way
I used this to fill a decorative pillow cover, and it worked out wonderful. The foam makes it so comfortable to lay your head on or just lean against. So much more comfortable than the poly fill. Also, a little goes a long way. Great value for this product.

Chemical smell
It fulfilled my purpose but it smells really bad. Very chemical smell, hoping it airs out after a couple days. I used it to refill a pillow and didn’t notice until I had already finished.

Finely shredded memory foam
This arrived well packaged with multiple layers of compression. It contained finely shredded blue memory foam. It was soft and compressable. There was enough to fill a small pillow, I had to also use the other memory foam I had on hand to fill the dog bed I was making. I can't speak to the durability yet, but it seems to be the same texture as the other memory foam I've worked with, so I expect it to hold up fine. Overall, I would order again.

Perfect for the neck
Color: Black and White
Excellent pillow. After using it for about 3 weeks I can truly say my morning neck pains are totally gone. Took some getting used to but it was worth it. Very comfortable and seems to be well made. Highly recommend.
