Time is a flexible concept from "summary" of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli
Time, as we experience it, is not as fixed and constant as we may think. Our perception of time can change depending on our frame of reference and our surroundings. Time can stretch and contract, warp and bend, in ways that defy our traditional understanding of it. Einstein's theory of relativity showed us that time is not an absolute concept, but rather a dimension that is intertwined with space. Time is not separate from the physical world, but rather an integral part of it. This means that time is not uniform everywhere in the universe, but can be influenced by factors such as gravity and velocity. Our perception of time is also influenced by our own experiences and memories. Time seems to move faster when we are having fun, and slower when we are bored. Our perception of time can also be altered by external factors, such as stress or excitement. This means that the passage of time is not just a fixed and linear progression, but can be influenced by a multitude of factors. In the grand scheme of things, time is a flexible and malleable concept that is deeply intertwined with the fabric of the universe. Our understanding of time is constantly evolving, as we continue to explore and unravel its mysteries. By embracing the fluidity of time, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the world around us.
