~ Carl Jung
If things fall, it is due to this slowing down of time. Where time passes uniformly, in interplanetary space, things do not fall. They float, without falling. Here on the surface of our planet, on the other hand, the movement of things inclines naturally toward where time passes more slowly, as when we run down the beach into the sea and the resistance of the water on our legs makes us fall headfirst into the waves. Things fall downward because, down there, time is slowed by the Earth.
~ Carlo Rovelli
People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction made between past, present and future is nothing more than a persistent, stubborn illusion." Illusion

But in physics there is nothing that corresponds to the notion of the "now.
~ Carlo Rovelli
Times are legion: a different one for every point in space. There is not one single time; there is a vast multitude of them. The time indicated by a particular clock measuring a particular phenomenon is called 'proper time' in physics. Every clock has its proper time. Every phenomenon that occurs has its proper time, its own rhythm.
~ Carlo Rovelli
The time indicated by a particular clock measuring a particular phenomenon is called "proper time" in physics.

Addiction to alcohol is also a neurological phenomenon, the result of a complex set of molecular alterations that take place in the brain when it's excessively and repeatedly exposed to the drug. The science of addiction is complicated, but the basic idea is fairly straightforward: alcohol appears to wreak havoc on the brain's natural systems of craving and reward, compromising the functioning of the various neurotransmitters and proteins that create feelings of well-being.

We are surrounded by the absurd excess of the universe. By meaningless bulk, vastness without size, power without consequence. The stubborn iteration that is present without being felt. Nothing the spirit can marry. Merely phenomenon and its physics. An endless, endless of going on. No habitat where the brain can recognize itself. No pertinence for the heart. Helpless duplication.
~ Jack Gilbert
