Description
The Story of Time won the Shankar's Award and First prize in the Category General Fiction in the Competition for Writers of Children's Books.
A world without time! It would be a chaotic place to live in. Man has been trying ever to reckon time. He watched nature’s clocks-the rising and setting of the sun, changing of the seasons, growth of a baby and mutation in all creation. From shadow sticks to sundials to water-clocks to the present day clocks that are accurate to one-millionth of a second and further – it is indeed the story of time.
A most significant idea that has resulted through untiring research is the concept of time-space-continuum as an indivisible unit. Time remains a scientific mystery!
