A SCIENCE MANIFESTO: Why Is There No University Department for The Study of Time?

This manifesto goes into detail about why the 'Study of Time' has been ignored and what we should do to change that. Time is not just a fact of life; our understanding of time is shaped by our cultures and there are many different ways of thinking about and dealing with time. Time is a key element with climate change. If change happens slowly we can plan for it. If it happens quickly we will need to make rapid changes.

Time is a key element with climate change. If change happens slowly we can plan for it. If it happens quickly we will need to make rapid changes. Time is the most used noun in the English language, for example. Our lives from birth to death are ruled by time.
