This physicist’s ideas of time will blow your mind
- HillaryBriss 9y agoi read through this article but felt like there weren't a lot of new time ideas. a lot of it was the kind of thing they teach in a college physics class or just ideas that are out there circulating in the general milieu: 1. stuff that's moving fast relative to slower moving stuff experiences time differently 2. people in London operate on a different time than people in New York 3. time is just a construct within the human mind i bet Carlo Rovelli has more insightful ideas to introduce but the journalist who wrote this piece didn't do them justice. i suspect that the journalist talked with Rovelli, had their mind blown, tried to write a mind-blowing article and blew it.
- laurex 8y agoAgreed. Unfortunately it had that clickbait title. That said, though nothing in the article was ground-breaking if you're a student of the science around time, it's still a practice of most humans to articulate a relationship to time that is a constructed story... Somewhat like our way of experiencing "free will," to digress way too much. Ordered the book, anyway!
