Time is not a fixed entity from "summary" of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli
Time is not a fixed entity. It is not something that flows uniformly, independently of everything else. Time is a fluid, ever-changing dimension that is intimately connected to the world around us. The passage of time is not the same for everyone and everywhere. It varies depending on the speed at which an object is moving, its proximity to a gravitational field, and other factors. Time is relative, not absolute. This concept was first proposed by Albert Einstein in his theory of relativity. According to this theory, time is part of a four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. Spacetime is a dynamic fabric that can be warped and distorted by the presence of mass and energy. In the realm of quantum physics, time is even more elusive. At the quantum level, particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously and move backward and forward in time. The arrow of time, which dictates the direction in which events unfold, is not as straightforward as it may seem. Our perception of time is also influenced by our experiences and memories. Time seems to speed up or slow down depending on our circumstances and emotional state. The past, present, and future are not separate entities but interconnected aspects of a continuous flow. In the grand scheme of the universe, time is just one aspect of a complex and interconnected system. It is not a fixed entity but a dynamic force that shapes our reality in ways we are only beginning to understand. Time is a mystery waiting to be unraveled, a puzzle with no easy answers.
