BBC Radio 4 - Word of Mouth, Time

Michael Rosen asks what time is and explores the words we use to talk about it.

Michael Rosen's version of a Brief History of Time, well sort of ...! He asks what is time and explores the words we use to talk about it. He looks at some of the earliest devices for measuring time and talks to some who believe they've got an answer to the question of what it is and when it began. Oh and along the way Michael gets in a muddle over a maths equation!

Producer: Perminder Khatkar.
