Why Is There So Little Time in the Day?

The Leonard Lopate Show | Jan 31, 2017

Alan Burdick, a staff writer at The New Yorker, joins us to discuss his book Why Time Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation. Burdick looks at how time affects our bodies, brains and the ways we perceive reality. He embarks on an investigation into time, visiting the most accurate clock in the world, finding a 25th hour in the day, and even living in the Arctic to lose all sense of time.

Alan Burdick is speaking and signing books at the Half King at 505 W 23rd St. on Monday, February 27th at 7pm. For more information, click here.
