Michio Kaku

As a physicist, Ive spent most of my life studying time and I

know its one of the greatest mysteries in all of nature. We all

know that time is out there, but we cant see it, feel it,

taste it, touch it, or smell it. So how does it exert suchpower over our lives? In this program, Im going to find out.

it explores time as a political subject, showing how

indigenous cultures have diverse ways of considering

time (past, present and future) but illustrating how one,

single, European time is colonizing all these varieties of

time. It is a manifesto for cyclical time and for the

times of nature, of carnival, of play: and argues thatwomens time is different from mens

...time has been increasingly divided and subdivided, an obsession which is a feature of modernity,

to divide time - that infinite and beautiful thing - into the mere infinitesimal decimal, as scientists

today use femto-seconds, a millionth of a billionth of a second. Childbirth is timed mechanically. A

childs ability to learn is measured not by depth of understanding but by speed of progress. Work is

usually costed by hours. Quality time only things its so special because dominant time isquantitative, counted and accounted. Everything is timed.
