Meditações - distinguir passado, presente e futuro
Is one of our most deeply rooted assumptions about Einstein wrong?
In a famous letter to a bereaved family friend, Einstein wrote: “For those of us who believe in physics, the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion".
This has been widely interpreted to mean that Einstein’s theory of relativity itself implies that the passage of time is an illusion and that time, like space, has no direction, a position often referred to as “the block universe”.
But despite Einstein revolutionising our understanding of time, nothing in his theory of relativity suggests that the distinction between past, present, and future is an illusion, argues Tim Maudlin.

Meditações - o tempo destrói, o tempo constrói

Meditações - passar o deserto pela ampulheta...
To write down all I contain at this moment
I would
pour the desert through an hour-glass,
The sea
through a water-clock,
Grain by
grain and drop by drop
Let in the
trackless, measureless, mutable seas and sands.

Meditações - time spontaneously emerging...
Lido aqui:
For our
entire lives, we experience time as a steady, unbreakable river flowing
continuously from the past into the future. Advanced physics, however, has long
suspected that time might not be a fundamental property of the universe at all.
A fascinating new experiment by physicists has taken this mind-bending theory
out of the realm of pure mathematics and into the laboratory. By building a
miniature, self-contained universe, scientists are uncovering evidence that
time is simply an emergent property of quantum physics.
To test the true nature of time, researchers isolated a cloud of rubidium atoms inside a highly specialized glass vacuum chamber. By cooling these atoms to just a fraction of a degree above absolute zero, the team effectively created a tiny, completely isolated quantum universe. They removed all external influences and stopped using laboratory clocks to track the experiment. The scientists simply observed how these ultracold particles interacted and shifted within their closed environment.
The results of this groundbreaking experiment are completely changing how we understand the fabric of reality. The researchers discovered that as the atoms moved and the overall disorder of the system fluctuated, a measurable sequence of events naturally unfolded. Time essentially created itself from the shifting chaos and entropy of the particles. This incredible breakthrough proves that time is not a universal metronome dictating the cosmos, but rather a beautiful byproduct of matter constantly rearranging itself.

Meditações - atrasa o meu relógio...
Daqui desse momento
Do meu olhar pra fora
O mundo é só miragem
A sombra do futuro
A sobra do passado
Assombram a paisagem
Quem vai virar o jogo
E transformar a perda
Em nossa recompensa
Quando eu olhar pro lado
Eu quero estar cercado
Só de quem me interessa
Às vezes é um instante
A tarde faz silêncio
O vento sopra a meu favor
Às vezes eu pressinto
E é como uma saudade
De um tempo que ainda não passou
Me traz o teu sossego
Atrasa o meu relógio
Acalma a minha pressa
Me dá sua palavra
Sussurra em meu ouvido
Só o que me interessa
A lógica do vento
O caos do pensamento
A paz na solidão
A órbita do tempo
A pausa do retrato
A voz da intuição
A curva do universo
A fórmula do acaso
O alcance da promessa
O salto do desejo
O agora e o infinito
Só o que me interessa
Dudu Falcão, Lenine

Meditações - sincronia humana
THE TYRANNY OF THE TICKING CROWD.
HOW A DUTCH CLOCKMAKER DISCOVERED WHY YOUR FRIENDS ARE QUIETLY REWIRING YOUR BRAIN.
In 1665, the Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens discovered a curious fact about clocks. If you hang two pendulum clocks on the same wall, they eventually stop arguing and begin ticking together, as though they had attended the same committee meeting and reached a consensus.
Humans, it turns out, are much the same. Spend enough time around five pessimists and you'll soon be inspecting clouds for hidden disappointments. Spend enough time around five entrepreneurs and you'll find yourself trying to monetise breakfast.
The great secret of life is that people, like clocks, have a habit of synchronising. The people around you are constantly tugging at your opinions, habits, ambitions, and expectations until, before you know it, you've become a slightly averaged version of the company you keep.
Huygens thought he was studying pendulums. What he was really studying was human nature.
