«Les tactiques de Chronos» is the popular science essay by Étienne Klein, published by Flammarion in paperback (219 pages, in French).
The essay argues that time exists, but no one has seen it. Klein analyses how we confuse it with duration, memory, movement or becoming, and reviews physics from Galileo to Einstein and from antimatter to superstrings. He questions whether time is independent, whether it preceded the Universe, whether it can be reversed and whether there are several times at once.
The book was originally published in 2003; this 2009 edition belongs to the Champs sciences collection (877).
Aimed at readers with scientific and philosophical curiosity seeking an accessible approach to the nature of time.
Étienne Klein is a French physicist and philosopher of science. A graduate of École Centrale Paris, he holds a DEA in theoretical physics, as well as a Ph.D. in philosophy of science and an accreditation to supervise research (HDR).
