Time is a great legalizer, even in the field of morals.

We are here and now. Further than that, all knowledge is moonshine.

In phase space the complete state of knowledge about a dynamical system at a single instant in time collapses to a point. That point is the dynamical system—at that instant. At the next instant, though, the system will have changed, ever so slightly, and so the point moves. The history of the system time can be charted by the moving point, tracing its orbit through phase space with the passage of time.

The great quantum theorist Richard P. Feynman expressed this feeling. "It always bothers me that, according to the laws as we understand them today, it takes a computing machine an infinite number of logical operations to figure out what goes on in no matter how tiny a region of space, and no matter how tiny a region of time. How can all that be going on in that tiny space? Why should it take an infinite amount of logic to figure out what one tiny piece of space/time is going to do?

To some physicists chaos is a science of process rather than state, of becoming rather than being.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before. Steven Wright

What we call the past is built on bits. —John Archibald Wheeler

The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. But there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it. The

They had talked about turbulence, but time passed, and even Carruthers was no longer sure where Feigenbaum was headed. "I thought he had quit and found a different problem. Little did I know that this other problem was the same problem. It seems to have been the issue on which many different fields of science were stuck—they were stuck on this aspect of the nonlinear behavior of systems.

Time is a feature of creation, and the creator remains apart from it, transcendent over it. Does that mean that all our mortal time and history is, for God, a mere instant—complete and entire? For God outside of time, God in eternity, time does not pass; events do not occur step by step; cause and effect are meaningless. He is not one-thing-after-another, but all-at-once. His "now" encompasses all time. Creation is a tapestry, or an Einsteinian block universe.

It may prove useful in physics," he wrote, "to consider events in all of time at once and to imagine that we at each instant are only aware of those that lie behind us.
