Must-read pre každého nedochvíľneho človeka. Garantujem vám, že keď nabudúce opäť niekam dorazíte s polhodinovým meškaním a vyzliekajúc si kabát začnete vysvetľovať, že podľa Boltzmanna za to môže nízka entropia minulosti, ktorá nám umožňuje používať pojem príčiny ako efektívny koncept a ešte trochu zadýchane dodáte, že v čisto mechanickom systéme by jednosmerný čas identifikovaný kauzalitou neexistoval, budú všetci ďakovať bohu, že ste neprišli skôr.
Niečo som pochopila, niečo nie. Vysvetlenie tej vedeckej časti bolo podľa mňa dosť ťažkopádne.

“This is time for us. Memory. A nostalgia. The pain of absence. But it isn't absence that causes sorrow. It is affection and love. Without affection, without love, such absences would cause us no pain.
For this reason, even the pain caused by absence is in the end something good and even beautiful. Because it feeds on that which gives meaning to life.”

“Because everything that begins must end. What causes us to suffer is not in the past or the future: it is here, now, in our memory, in our expectations. We long for timelessness, we endure the passing of time: we suffer time. Time is suffering.”
