On Time

What does it mean to live across multiple temporalities at once? How do our memories, imaginations and lineages shape our experience of time? In this conversation on being In Time Professor Dean Rickles and novelist Shankari Chandran reflect on the complexities of moving psychologically, culturally and ethically through time.

Physics informs and challenges our deepest assumptions about time, shaping principles of quantum mechanics and the structure of the cosmos. While some argue time is an essential part of the physical world, others suggest it may not exist at all. In this conversation on Physical Time Professor Tamara Davis and Associate Professor Sam Baron trace the tension between the time we measure and the time we experience, attempting to reconcile both.

Time is a vast, interconnected story etched into landscapes, encoded in songlines, and carried through oral traditions. In this conversation on Deep Time, Rachael Hocking yarns with her friend, storyteller Bronte Gosper. Together they weave and untangle the many threads which tie them to Country, community, time and place. The lines between past, present and future blur as we remember lessons from their ancestors who have walked this earth for millennia.

Our experience of time is anything but uniform and is something we can experience in profoundly different ways. In this conversation on Measured Time with philosopher Kristie Miller and content creator Aslan Pahari we examine how different beings perceive time.

We explore the patterns through which humans make sense of time, and how cultures develop different ways of orienting themselves in relation to past and future. We trace how memory and imagination work together and how our preferences toward what has been or what is coming quietly shape the choices we make every day.
