Lee Smolin Lecture on Time


If you ever think about time, and what it really is, join the club. I think about it often and know many who do, also. We measure time, and our day is supposedly 24 hours. Of course, the foregoing really depends on many factors, some of which are based on theory. Keep in mind that a theory is a supposition. Anyhow, I do not want to get too technical, I will let my subject matter do that. I found this video on YouTube and decided to share it on here. The video is titled: A New Theory of Time - Lee Smolin. Lee Smolin is a theoretical physicist.

            We live embedded in a timeless universe....

We are faced with making good decisions about an uncertain future....

- Lee Smolin

The two previous quotes, somewhat out of context here, are from Lee Smolin in this video lecture in which his book, Time Reborn, is referenced. Watch the video below.

  1. Political stuff doesn't need to work it's way into everything these days, but it does. There is mention of climate change...just wanted to warn.

  2. Science is not about what’s true. It’s about what people with originally diverse viewpoints can be forced to believe by way of public evidence.
