★★★★★ · Thinking about what Time Is · Lenintc · 2023-04-18
We presented this film in a Physics course when we discussed time as the 4th dimension along with General and Special Relativity as well in a Creative Writing Course. Students found the film very provocative. The film was used from the late 1960’s through the 1990’s. I never tired of viewing Time Is.
