We warmly invite you to read a popular science article featuring Dr. hab. Paweł Zieliński, prof. UMCS (Department of Geomorphology and Paleogeography UMCS), who shares his thoughts on the mysteries of time and its fundamental role in geological processes. Prof. Zieliński explains how time in geology is measured in millions of years and how, on this scale, spectacular transformations occur—from the formation of oceans and mountain uplift to long-term climatic shifts. He also highlights the influence of astronomical cycles on the climate and phenomena occurring over the years, such as tidal changes linked to the motion of the Earth and Moon.
An intriguing perspective is Prof. Zieliński's view of time as a phenomenon observed through processes that define it—from the Earth's rotation to the decay of radioactive elements. We encourage you to explore these inspiring reflections and discover whether time is merely a measurement tool or something more tangible—or perhaps even illusory.
