Why Timewise?

Either John Wheeler or Richard Feynman, both who have nobel prizes for their work in quantum physics, stated that if you think you understand quantum physics you really don’t understand it at all. The current attitude among physicists seems to be not to try to understand reality, just follow the math. This reminds me of the old Buddhist precept that a finger pointing at the moon is not the moon. To my mind, as wonderful as math is (I am also a structural engineer), it is still only a finger. So I have decided to explain quantum physics to everyone. You may find you need to read a passage or two twice, but you don’t need a background in math or physics to follow Regina and Ron as they ferret out the reality we call time.
