Time Stops

This book, Time Stops, was written a follow up to his 2021 memoir, Time, the Essence of a Man, to bring recent events into focus.

This book, Time Stops, was written a follow up to Linhardt's 2021 memoir, Time, the Essence of a Man. Much has occurred in the brief period since his first book was published including a personal diagnosis of terminal spinal cancer, a pandemic, the fallout from a failed U.S. presidency and an insurrection. These remarkable personal and national occurrences, in addition to international events including breakeven nuclear fusion, remarkable advances in artificial intelligence, and climate disaster has motivated this second work. In the current work, Linhardt includes additional vignettes on his childhood and adult life. This book also includes his personal views on life and the major scientific advances over the past seventy-five years and makes predictions about what to expect from science in the next twenty-five years. Linhardt also provides his personal views on the state of the 'modern world' as he prepares for his departure.
