Series in which Michio Kaku goes on an extraordinary exploration of the world in search of time.

We like to imagine that time is regular and eternal; the same everywhere and always. But is it? Are our assumptions true or are they illusions? Michio is on a mission to reveal the true nature of time itself, a journey that takes him from science to religion and from science fiction to philosophy.

He discovers places where time beats at different rates, where time blurs, and even where time stands still. Michio creates a blueprint for a scientifically accurate time machine and tackles perhaps the biggest question of all, whether time is eternal.

His exploration leads to a remarkable realisation. It seems that time itself evolves and time in the distant future of the universe might be so different to the time we know now that we might not recognise it as time at all.
