Lynds: Time's Up, Einstein
Wired 13.06: Time's Up, Einstein:
"1687: Isaac Newton
The universe has one absolute clock:
• Time and space are independant of the observer.
• Time's arrow points forward; events move ahead from the now.
1905: Albert Einstein
every observer has his or her own (accurate) clock:
• The universe exists in a space-time manifold.
• Everyone's 'now' is different.
• Acceleration affects time.
2003: Peter Lynds
There is no clock; 'time' is an illusion
• Time has no indivisible unit.
• There is no 'now,' only sequences of events."
