QUANTUM MECHANICS AND EINSTEIN COLLIDE. "When Schrödinger and Heisenberg formulated quantum mechanics in the 1920s, they ignored Einstein's work and treated time in Newton's spirit, as an absolute that is ticking away in the background. This already gives us a clue as to why the two theories might be so hard to reconcile." https://lnkd.in/eafS82F View in LinkedIn

"TIME, like many other aspects of biology, is fractal in nature, when considered at a range of scales spanning, for example, species-level interactions to the cellular and molecular level. All cellular functions and fate decisions are governed by spatiotemporal design principles: circadian rhythms, cell division, development, metabolism, etc." Not quite there yet. https://lnkd.in/eUegwR4 View in LinkedIn

BUT, FOR SURE, the world of physics and the world of biology will one day share a common language relating to time. And really push the envelope of thinking about biology in time. https://lnkd.in/eT6f5Ad View in LinkedIn

BLOCKTIME. "If you look at a map, the whole of the landscape is there before you, all at once. If you add time as the fourth dimension on this map, then all of time is there at once too. The fact that nothing in physics singles out a particular 'now' is a mystery." https://lnkd.in/eafS82F View in LinkedIn

BIOLOGISTS are pretty mundane when it comes to thinking about time, the new fourth dimension of space, but ever since Einstein, physicists have had a ball with the concept, truly hurting our brains. https://lnkd.in/eT6f5Ad View in LinkedIn

SPACE-TIME and gravity are difficult to understand in part because bulk (classical, Newtonian) world experience is at harsh odds with the (nano) quantum world, and appear to operate under different physical laws. The next section is a prelude to space-time cloaking with metamaterials. That will rock your boat. View in LinkedIn

INDIVISIBLE. "Since time is relative to the observer, it is impossible to divide it up into past, present and future in a way that is universally meaningful. In some sense, past, present and future are all there at once." https://lnkd.in/eafS82F View in LinkedIn

NEXT WEEKEND there is more on the intimate relationship between that odd liquid, water, and biological molecules. No longer seen as innocent bystanders, water has been found to play active roles in complex biological functions. This is neither mystical, magical nor cause for hydration mania, but simply a consequence of a long, and extraordinary, evolutionary process. View in LinkedIn

COSMIC TRAMPOLINE. "Time and space, according to Einstein's theories of relativity, are woven together, forming a four-dimensional fabric called "space-time." The mass of Earth dimples this fabric, much like a heavy person sitting in the middle of a trampoline." https://lnkd.in/eTmgCDm View in LinkedIn
