Description

Do we think and live "within" or "outside" of time? Do we live in a Boltzmann universe or a Leibnizian universe? Free will or fate? Change or eternity? Individuality or uniformity?

Are the physical laws imperative and timeless or do they evolve over time, in the context of a cosmological physical selection? 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.

What is time? Is it something real or an illusion that will end as soon as all kinds of "change" in our Universe cease?
