«El sueño del tiempo» is the popular science essay by Carlos López-Otín and Guido Kroemer, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the idea that biological time dwells within us even though physics and philosophy consider it a mental construct, the authors review the history of the concept of time and its link with ageing and longevity. They also analyse what science says about slowing the passage of time in the organism, the diseases associated with the loss of the sense of time, and whether humanity could one day achieve some form of physical immortality.
The book belongs to the Contextos collection from Ediciones Paidós. Its subtitle is «Un ensayo sobre las claves del envejecimiento y la longevidad».
Recommended for readers interested in biology, medicine and big scientific questions about life and ageing.
