Čas je jednou z najväčších záhad vesmíru a jeho hľadanie sa stalo doslova posadnutosťou ľudstva... Odkedy sme sa naučili počítať, snažíme sa pochopiť a zmerať fenomén času. Meranie času fascinuje ľudstvo od samého počiatku: jeho poznanie, pochopenie a zvládnutie do takej miery, že jeho veľmi presné meranie sa stalo technologickým základom našej globálne prepojenej digitálnej spoločnosti, ktorá funguje na princípe just-in-time. Aké zásadné objavy v histórii umožnili ľuďom dúfať, že sa stanú "pánmi času"? Akým spôsobom sme ho dokázali stále presnejšie merať, ale aj štandardizovať a synchronizovať a stanoviť rovnaký jednotný čas pre všetkých? Akým spôsobom sa vďaka jeho určeniu zrodil náš moderný svet a akým spôsobom hrozí, že naruší našu budúcnosť? Albert Einstein svojou teóriou relativity vlastne ukázal, že absolútny čas neexistuje.
