Main ideas: #time is quantized, entropy increases with time, time is local and relative, we don’t know how to reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics, because we don’t understand time. 🤦🏻♂️

“If you think you’ve got 100 years to mess around: you’re wrong! #Time to shine, yeah, #hero time! Damn! It’s time to GO!”
