From the big bang to Newton's theory of gravity, theoretical physicist Julian Barbour explains his theory of time and explores how this can fit with Einstein's theory of gravity and what this means for quantum theory.

Julian Barbour is a theoretical physicist working on on foundational issues in physics for nearly fifty years, specializing in the study of time and motion. He is emeritus visiting professor in physics at the University of Oxford. He is the author of Absolute or Relative Motion? , The End of Time, and The Janus Point.​ Barbour's work on time has focused on the illusion of time. He argues, time as such does not exist but only change. He has shown how, alongside the relativity of motion, the notion of time as change can be built into the foundations of dynamics and looked at the consequences of this implication for the quantum mechanics of the universe.
