Time perception from ancient civilizations to Einstein’s spacetime theory
In this episode, Dexter Morton explores the concept of time from various perspectives. Starting with its perception in ancient civilizations and religious concepts during the Middle Ages, he advances to the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. He further discusses the birth of time zones, Einstein's theories on spacetime, and the complexity of base 60 time measurement. The origins of banking and base 10's intuitive nature are also covered. Finally, he imagines time as a static dimension and wraps up with thoughts on space-time. We truly hope you’ve enjoyed this episode of Onion Soup. If you’d like to support us click the link below.
