Disappointed by Carlo Rovelli’s “Order of Time”. Reads more like a #physicist’s hobby project in #creativeWriting (though quite a poetic one)… rather than a container of eye-opening, bleeding-edge information. pic.twitter.com/juDwful4Hr
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. 🤦🏻♂️

“All of life is reduced to the common rubble of #banality. And the daily business of life is a #corrupt comedy. We shatter the sensations of #time and space into split seconds and instant replays. Instant replays.” — Network
“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!”
