THE FOURTH DIMENSION: "duration, at right angles to the dimensions before. Quantum connections are at right-angles to space-time." (Rob Bryanton). https://lnkd.in/eNF8jK7 View in LinkedIn
NEWTON "gave us the idea of a "clockwork universe", in which it would be possible to know not only all of the past but all of the future if only we could say where every particle was, in what direction each particle was moving and at what speed." https://lnkd.in/e7WDK5Z View in LinkedIn
NEWTON WAS WRONG. "That the flow of time is constant is seemingly obvious and this has been the prevailing view for almost all of human history. Sir Isaac Newton, when he wasn't dodging falling apples, certainly thought time was constant." https://lnkd.in/e7WDK5Z View in LinkedIn
1935 RESOLUTION. Einstein believed that quantum mechanics was correct, and proposed that his general relativity theorem and quantum mechanics could be resolved by the idea of quantum entanglement. https://lnkd.in/ejCWKuF View in LinkedIn
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
