Behind the usual cast of heroes in the history of knowledge lays a fascinaing story of imaginary beings who have the power to escape from the realm of thought and serve as models for new experiments and technologies.
The story of an all-too-human scientist who became an extraordinary icon told by exploring new relations between the mundane, the mythical and the universal in the 20th century.
On April 6, 1922, in Paris, Albert Einstein and Henri Bergson publicly debated the nature of time. Einstein considered Bergson's theory of time to be a soft, psychological notion, irreconcilable with the quantitative realities of physics.
In the late fifteenth century, clocks acquired minute hands. A century later, second hands appeared. But it wasn’t until the 1850s that instruments could recognize a tenth of a second, and, once they did, the impact on modern science and society was profound. Revealing the history behind this infinitesimal interval, A Tenth of a Second sheds new light on modernity and illuminates the work of important thinkers of the last two centuries.
