Před čtyřmi miliardami let byla planeta Země značně nehostinným místem. Byla v té době teprve 600 milionů let stará a na její povrch nepřetržitě dopadaly kusy hornin. Obrovské množství páry a plynů se nepřetržitě valilo ze stovek sopek, tvoříce tak první atmosféru. Jak se Země postupně ochlazovala, pára se srážela a padala v bouřkových přívalech vody a tvořila tak oceány. Tato kniha vypráví příběh vzniku života na naší planetě.

Celá staletí se snaží lidé přijít na to, co a jak určuje běh věcí našeho světa. Zpočátku se veškeré děje vysvětlovaly jako dílo bohů a jiných mytických bytostí a teprve mnohem později se pozornost upřela k energii a k jejím mnoha formách.

Čas je základní součástí života.Proniká do všeho co děláme. Ale existuje opravdu?
