Yet physics finds no universal 'now'. To explore what a moment really is, In Search of Now draws on state-of-the-art discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, cosmology and quantum physics, revealing a dynamic, creative process in which we all play a part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJo Marchant shows how we each carve out our lived experience - sensations and emotions, actions and decisions - through our interactions with the world.
