For example, the differing daily cycles on Mars compared to Earth highlight the practical challenges of using traditional timekeeping methods in space. The book progresses from the historical context of timekeeping to the complexities of interplanetary time, including the mechanics of time dilation during high-speed space travel. It delves into potential solutions like atomic clocks and pulsar-based timekeeping. "Space Time" uniquely emphasizes the human element, considering the psychological and cultural impacts of redefining our fundamental understanding of time, not just the technical aspects. The book draws upon research in physics, astronomy, and engineering, with data from space missions to illustrate the practical challenges of timekeeping in space.
