Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe"If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from the ground up, Smolin's Time Reborn will take you to the mountaintop." NPR What is time? It's the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will. Lee

"If you are looking for a bracing alternative vision of physics built from the ground up, Smolin's Time Reborn will take you to the mountaintop." -- NPR

What is time?

It's the sort of question we rarely ask because it seems so obvious. And yet, to a physicist, time is simply a human construct and an illusion. If you could somehow get outside the universe and observe it from there, you would see that every moment has always existed and always will. Lee Smolin disagrees, and in Time Reborn he lays out the case why.

Developments in physics and cosmology point toward the reality of time and the openness of the future. Smolin's groundbreaking theory postulates that physical laws can evolve over time and the future is not yet determined. Newton's fundamental laws may not remain so fundamental. Time Reborn serves as a popular primer and investigation of time, both what it is and how the true nature of it impacts our world.

"He challenges not only Einstein's relativity, but also the very notion of natural laws as immutable truths." -- Economist

"One of the essential books of the twenty-first century . . . Smolin provides a much-needed dose of clarity about time, with implications that go far beyond physics to economics, politics, and personal philosophy." -- Jaron Lanier, author of You Are Not a Gadget

Perfect for giving my dull skin a extra boost
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
Really great moisturizer for my entire body. I have been having issues with my skin looking dull & dry even after using lotion. I’ve realized b/c I am 40+ I need to add an extra layer with a little extra in the ingredients to bring my skin back to life & this has really did a good job so far. I love it. I originally bought it for my day for prom to give her extra shine that will last all night & it did an amazing job on her “young” skin & made it glow so beautifully. Then I said, let’s see what it will do for momma & started using it. I like it b/c it doesn’t leave residue on clothes & it’s not too thick or oily it’s perfect. After the shower this is my got to & a night out I will definitely add a layer of this & hit the road. I definitely recommend this product if you are looking for anything I mentioned above. I will be buying my daughter another bottle & myself as well & adding to subscription list.

New Summer skincare routine staple!
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
Wow! This oil is amazing! It smells heavenly and feels dreamy! It leaves your skin looking beautiful with a stunning shimmer. It hydrates without an oily or sticky feeling and feels lightweight and soft on the skin. It is really such a great value because it barely takes any product to hydrate your skin. This will be a staple for my Summer skincare routine!

Overrated
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
I wanted to like this. I had it in my shopping cart for over a year. When I got a gift card during Christmas, I used it on this product. It was quite underwhelming, in my opinion. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, leaving a soft glow without feeling greasy, which I really appreciated. It layers well under clothing and doesn’t leave any sticky residue. The hydration is decent thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, and nourishing oils, but I didn’t notice a dramatic difference compared to other quality body lotions. While the idea of 24K gold sounds luxurious, I didn’t see a noticeable improvement in firmness or redness reduction. I also found myself using ALOT in order to get even close to the results that are advertised. I am a big fan of using oils and I've used better / more affordable ones. The toasted vanilla scent is pleasant and warm, with a slightly sweet, creamy finish, but the scent was fleeting and did not last. Overall, it’s an OK oil with a nice scent and feel, but the results didn’t stand out enough to fully justify the premium, spa-like claims and price.

Good size bottle, not favorite but a good body oil.
Size: 3.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Color: Golden Aura
While I wouldn’t necessarily call this the *best* glitter body oil I’ve ever tried as it’s quite messy to apply, it’s still certainly become a summer staple on my vanity. Being an ex smoker with the smokers skin problem living in the dry AZ desert, the Hyaluronic Acid in it is a plus. It is a thicker oil though, that isn’t as quick to dry & no where near enough glitter in it imo compared to others marketed for their gold glitter (like the Tarte glitter body oil that I like which is a bit thinner & quicker to absorb w/ more glitter appearance on the skin), but it is a fairly large sized bottle that lasts me awhile. When I originally bought my first bottle it was about 1/2 price it is now, so for how thick/messy & not quickly absorbing it is, kind of just staying wet & glossy on top of my skin making it easy to wipe off rather than wiping in… I’m not sure I’d say the value for the money is quite there anymore at $40 or something a bottle. Sure, it’s a bigger bottle than most that still charge me $30, but it’s just not as good a quality of product. . Kopari in general just hasn’t been what I was used to it being for a little while now since exploding into this huge brand… That all said, I still find myself coming back to buy a second bottle, lol. The Kopari sales reps are right when they say it works much better when mixed into the whipped Kopari lotion & then a little goes a lot longer a way & absorbs better for that softer not so oily skin. Overall, it is kind of expensive for what it is quality wise, but the amount you get some would say is a good value for your money. I’d say the quality could be better for the value, but it’s def not a ‘bad’ body oil by any stretch, especially when mixed with the lotion. It’s my secondary backup to go to that comes with enough to last me longer & supplement my better quality better absorbing more expensive oils. If you like a thicker glitter body oil that isn’t too glittery & you use a lot of body oil, this may be a good one for you. If you have dry skin & prefer to use lotion & only a little glitter body oil mostly in the sun to add glitter & help draw in the sun for a tan & want a thinner faster absorbing oil, this may not be the one for you- even if it comes with a hefty amount for the $40 price point compared to others at same price point.
