The Origins of Time

In 1930, Albert Einstein published an essay on religion and science in the New York Times magazine. He was obviously thinking very much about measuring time. And this is what led him to the notion that your time and my time might appear different. We might measure different time intervals between the same two events if we're moving differently. Gravity slows time. Time runs a little bit faster on the roof than it does in the basement. It can't really grasp the Aboriginal concept of the dream time, but I think it will come closer to the Christian notion of eternity. Then it does to day to day, temporal sequence.
