{"product_id":"the-river-of-time-canto","title":"The River of Time (Canto)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe nature of time has long fascinated physicists and the general public. As an irresistible flow into which all events are embedded  time cannot be slowed or accelerated  nor can it be undone or turned back. In The River of Time   Igor Novikov describes how the thinkers throughout history have defined time and how these discoveries demonstrate that humans may influence times flow. He describes how time flows in specific regions of the Universe  how it stops in black holes and splashes over the brim in white holes  and how time may convert into space and vice versa. Exploring times genesis at the Big Bang  Novikov details how recent discoveries indicate that time machine travel might be possible. Igor Novikov is the Director of the Theoretical Astrophysics Center and Professor of the Astronomical Observatory of Copenhagen University. He began his scientific career at the Moscow State University and has since been affiliated with the Institute of Applied Mathematics  Moscow  the Space Research Institute  Moscow  and Copenhagen University. He has published more than 250 scientific papers and 150 articles and is the co-author of Edwin Hubble: Discoverer of the Big Bang (Cambridge  1993) and Black Holes and the Universe (Cambridge  1993).
