Let's talk, jueves 9 de abril de 2026 a las 12:30 sala de Seminario y a las 16:30 h. Sala Fondo Local

Let’s talk about time. The article below gives an indication as to why we count time as 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day but is time a figment of our imagination (see second article)? Does time sometimes seem to stand still? Does time pass quicker if you are busy and slower if you are bored? A popular saying in business is, “time is money”, but would a time bank be a better way to operate our finances and then we could perhaps abolish money?

Come along to your public library on Thursdays at 12.30 or 16.30 for a fun chat in English. For further details please ask at the information desk.
