Julian Barbour

Julian Barbour, a theoretical physicist, has worked on foundational issues in physics for 35 years. He is responsible for a radical notion of "time capsules which explain how the powerful impression of the passage of time can arise in a timeless world". He lives on a farm north of Oxford village and for the past 30 years he has made a living translating Russian while pursuing his interests in physics.
