🕰️Time is a mysterious ingredient in reality, more so in space.
⏳Different thinkers have proposed contrasting perspectives on the nature of time.
⏰Augustine believed time exists only in the mind, with the past as memory and the future as expectation.
🌌Einstein merged time and space, refuting Newton's idea of absolute time.
🌀Quantum theory has contributed to the ongoing exploration and understanding of time.
What is time and why is it mysterious?
—Time is a fundamental aspect of reality, yet its nature remains elusive and perplexing. Different thinkers and scientists have offered differing perspectives, leading to ongoing debates and exploration.
What did Newton believe about time?
—Newton proposed the idea of absolute time, a universal and independent flow of time. He saw time as a parameter for measuring the motion of objects.
How did Einstein challenge Newton's concept of time?
—Einstein's theory of relativity merged time and space into a single fabric, undermining the idea of absolute time. He showed that time is relative and influenced by motion and gravity.
What did Augustine believe about time?
—Augustine believed that time is a construct of the mind. For him, the past is memory, the future is expectation, and the present moment is fleeting.
How has quantum theory influenced our understanding of time?
—Quantum theory has raised further questions about the nature of time. It challenges traditional notions and suggests that time, like other aspects of reality, may be more complex and multifaceted than previously thought.
00:14Time, a mysterious aspect of reality, becomes even more enigmatic in space.
01:58Augustine believed time is in the mind, with the past as memory and the future as expectation.
02:19Einstein merged time and space, refuting Newton's idea of absolute time.
05:08Mark's work raised questions about the nature of time as it relates to measuring devices like clocks.
09:57Special relativity shows that moving clocks run slower due to the constancy of the speed of light.
12:43This demonstration visually reveals how moving clocks experience slower time.
