Such contradictions are posed – and answered – by the prominent theoretical physicist Lee Smolin. He redefines physics and directly challenges Einstein, who considered time irrelevant to the description of the World.
"In the past, I adopted the illusory nature of time. I longed to change the time-bound world of man with a world of pure and timeless mathematical truth.
