Quotes About Space-time

the fundamental process of Nature lies outside space-time but generates events that can be located in space-time.

Once we accept quantum nonlocality as an established physical aspect of the world in which we live, it becomes easier within science to conceive of a transcendent domain outside the manifest physical domain of space-time.

With nonlocal connection, we are forced to conceptualize a domain of reality outside space-time because a nonlocal connection cannot happen in space-time.

The brain is the only kind of object capable of understanding that the cosmos is even there, or why there are infinitely many prime numbers, or that apples fall because of the curvature of space-time, or that obeying its own inborn instincts can be morally wrong, or that it itself exists.

Though it indeed seems reasonable to rule out space-time geometries with closed timelike lines as descriptions of the classical universe, a case can be made that they should not be ruled out as potential occurrences that could be involved in a quantum superposition.

Space-time is not necessarily something to which one can ascribe a separate existence, independently of the actual objects of physical reality. Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept empty space loses its meaning.

This led Einstein to postulate that gravity isn't a force at all, but a geometric property, the warping of the fabric of space-time itself.

Through space-time, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. When you're not moving at all in space, you're moving at the speed of light, so to speak, through time—the fastest the universe allows you to do so. When you're moving at the speed of light through space, you stop moving through time.

Pero sólo cuando el observador se fija en cualquier localización de un electrón, es cuando aparece ese electrón. En suma, una partícula no puede manifestarse en la realidad, es decir, en el espacio-tiempo tal como nosotros lo conocemos, hasta que es observada.

In other words, a particle cannot manifest in reality—that is, ordinary space-time as we know it—until we observe it.1

Immortality appears to be a principal of the larger world we inhabit. It means to have an aspect of our existence beyond the four dimensions enfolded in space-time. The soul is still evolving and beyond mortality but this does not imply that it is eternal. There are dimensions, as we

To make this condition mathematically clearer, it is convenient to assert it in the form that the space-time can be continued smoothly, as a conformal manifold, a little way prior to the hypersurface . To before the Big Bang? Surely not: the Big Bang is supposed to represent the beginning of all things, so there can be no 'before'. Never fear—this is just a mathematical trick. The extension is not supposed to have any physical meaning! Or might it Ã¢â'¬Â¦?

But daily life and art occupy different space-times; a museum, a concert hall, a page of text, an art gallery are more likely to be experienced as refuges from daily life than as its venue.

Even in the realm of pure mathematics, the mathematician may use any set of symbols he desires within any given region of space-time; he may even go so far as to maintain that any one set of symbols fits the scheme as well as any other, but to erect this method into a philosophy and confuse independence of any one special meaning with independence of all meaning is unjustified and unwarranted.

The quantum is that embarrassing little piece of thread that always hangs from the sweater of space-time. Pull it and the whole thing unravels.

Golly, he's just a pest and your worst best friend, Who mend and rip space-time fabric like polyester blend.

Charles Lutwidge Dodgson's life in space-time colored his liberated life of the imagination.

It was possible to throw a little fold of space-time around yourself like a vampire vanishing into his swirl of cloak.

All thinking, knowing, perception, space-time, occur in consciousness. You are a non-local consciousness. The world is in you.

The Imaginary Intern and I used to say, 'The mind going is the mind coming,' which we meant not only in terms of the curvature of space-time (and the cosmic boomerang effect), but also in terms of sexual jouissance.

That first Prime Monitor," he said, "was sent by the Creator, from another dimension of the early universe, into our evolving space-time system.

Matter tells space-time how to curve. Space-time tells matter how to move.

But the ground shakes, as if something's trying to push up from below, and I think of other people's mothers shaking out their duvets or even God shaking out the fabric of space-time.

Rµv - (1/2)Rgµv = 8?GTµv. This is the equation that a physicist would think of if you said "Einstein's equation"; that E = mc2 business is a minor thing,
