A bit off-topic, but this is one BBC Horizon documentary I enjoyed, "Do you know what time is?"

Basically, we, the human race, still have no clue at all what time is and why it only moves forward.

Even further off-topic and even more insightful is the Weekly Wipe' Moments of Wonder on Time:

Are there any experts on the subject that can tell how accurate these documentaries are? I find it fascinating, but am always sceptical about the simplifications they might use.

I would highly recommend watching that Moments of Wonder mini documentary, it will go some way towards answering your question.

Philomena Cunk is world renowned for her research and documentaries, the Time short was particularly accurate.
