When General Relativity Was First Put Forward

Time Allows Change To Take Place And The Very Evolution Of The Universe Is What Requires Some Conception Of Time. Mathematically Can We Write Down A Universe That Doesn't Have Time? Sure. Do We Think That Would Be Realised In The Larger Reality That Is Out There? None Of Us Take That Possibility Seriously.

In My Own Research When I'm Working With Equations, I Never Feel Like I Really Understand What I'm Doing If I'm Solely Relying On The Mathematics For My Understanding. I Need To Have A Visual Picture In My Mind. I'm Constantly Translating From The Math To Some Intuitive Mind's-eye Picture.

But, As Einstein Once Said, “for We Convinced Physicists, The Distinction Between Past, Present, And Future Is Only An Illusion, However Persistent.”5

String Theory Has The Potential To Show That All Of The Wondrous Happenings In The Universe - From The Frantic Dance Of Subatomic Quarks To The Stately Waltz Of Orbiting Binary Stars; From The Primordial Fireball Of The Big Bang To The Majestic Swirl Of Heavenly Galaxies - Are Reflections Of One, Grand Physical Principle, One Master Equation.

The Universe Is Incredibly Wondrous, Incredibly Beautiful, And It Fills Me With A Sense That There Is Some Underlying Explanation That We Have Yet To Fully Understand. If Someone Wants To Place The Word 'god' On Those Collections Of Words, It's Ok With Me.
