Rovelli Time Quotes & Sayings

Change is ubiquitous. Only: elementary processes cannot be ordered along a common succession of instants. At the extremely small scale of the quanta of space, the dance of nature does not develop to the rhythm kept by the baton of a single orchestral conductor: every process dances independently with its neighbours, following its own rhythm. The passing of time is intrinsic to the world, it is born of the world itself, out of the relations between quantum events which are the world and which themselves generate their own time. — Carlo Rovelli

Scientific answers are not definitive: they are, almost by definition, the best ones that we have at any given time. Consider — Carlo Rovelli

due to the limitations of our consciousness we perceive only a blurred vision of the world and live in time. — Carlo Rovelli

If we try to put together what we have learned in the twentieth century about the physical world, the clues point toward something profoundly different from our instinctive understanding of matter, space, and time. — Carlo Rovelli

Time sits at the center of the tangle of problems raised by the intersection of gravity, quantum mechanics, and thermodynamics. — Carlo Rovelli

You could argue the banks are much better capitalised than they were going into the crisis, and everyone's in a much more vigilant state because they still remember the crisis. — Michael Lewis

The heat of black holes is like the Rosetta stone of physics, written in a combination of three languages- quantum, gravitational, and thermodynamic- still awaiting decipherment in order to reveal the true nature of time. — Carlo Rovelli

I think I pick more winners than losers. — Philip Green

the particles are quanta of quantum fields; light is formed by quanta of a field; space is nothing more than a field, which is also made of quanta; and time emerges from the processes of this same field. In other words, the world is made entirely from quantum fields ( — Carlo Rovelli

We never really see time. We see only clocks. If you say this object moves, what you really mean is that this object is here when the hand of your clock is here, and so on. We say we measure time with clocks, but we see only the hands of the clocks, not time itself. And the hands of a clock are a physical variable like any other. So in a sense we cheat because what we really observe are physical variables as a function of other physical variables, but we represent that as if everything is evolving in time. — Carlo Rovelli

Costa Rica remains peacefully and firmly committed to the well- being and safety of our population. We promote a model of development based upon harmony with nature; solidarity and social inclusion; economic and trade opening; development of our human resources, and innovation. — Laura Chinchilla

market capitalization (or market cap). — Paul Mladjenovic

Intelligence is that faculty of mind by which order is perceived in a situation previously considered disordered." - R. W. Young — Ray Kurzweil

Time is information we don't have. Time is our ignorance. — Carlo Rovelli

The passage of time is internal to the world, is born in the world itself in the relationship between quantum events that comprise the world and are themselves the source of time. The — Carlo Rovelli

It must not be claimed that anyone can sense time by itself apart from the movement of things. LUCRETIUS, De rerum natura1 — Carlo Rovelli

Everyone of you right now is valuable and essential ... — Neill F. Marriott

In his youth Albert Einstein spent a year loafing aimlessly. You don't get anywhere by not 'wasting' time- something, unfortunately, that the parents of teenagers tend frequently to forget. — Carlo Rovelli

Einstein's 1905 paper came out and suddenly changed people's thinking about space-time. We're again in the middle of something like that. When the dust settles, time - whatever it may be - could turn out to be even stranger and more illusory than even Einstein could imagine. — Carlo Rovelli

The meetings consisted mostly of the members who showed up every other week arguing with the ones who came every other month about what exactly "bimonthly" means. I — Paul Beatty
