Steven Strogatz speaks with physicist Frank Wilczek about what clocks measure and why the passage of time seems directional. They discuss different arrows of time, irreversibility, and the relationship between physical time and human experience. Wilczek explains how Einstein changed the definition of time and considers whether time could be emergent or illusory. The conversation also explores connections between time, symmetry and ideas about dark matter.
