What is time?

So, we're discussing an easy question this month! Just kidding, of course. There are many continuing controversies about time, beginning with whether it exists independently of humans. And if it does, what kind of existence? Why does time seem to only move in one direction, the oft-called "arrow of time"? What are the connections between time and biology, cosmology, and quantum mechanics? In this month's podcast episode, professor Sean Carroll interviews physicist Jim Al-Khalili about his research into time.

For this meetup, we each listen to the linked science podcast before the event, then get together to talk about it. Kind of like a book club for podcasts!
