Time is a "thing" that cannot be grasped, yet which undoubtedly exists. It is a "thing" which everybody speaks of but no one has seen. We see, hear, feel, taste IN time, but not time itself. We are sure we are grounded in physical reality, but it is Chronos -- the Greek god of time, said to have ruled the world before Zeus -- whose strange principles shape our existence. To confront time, we must approach it carefully, "peeling away" its mysteries one by one, distinguishing it from its various side-effects: duration, memory, movement, speed, repetition.

Can we reverse its flow? Do several "times" exist in time?
