The History of Time in Physics
Theory suggests that time is fundamental. Ordering of events is fundamental. Elementary particles don't experience time. The universe can generate them in any instant in time. There's no memory necessary for the universe to make an electron. Electrons just always happen. But to make something like you were high requires building up objects that know how to build other objects, and so on. So there's this long causal chain of events leading to this conversation in order for this to actually appear in the universe. Like a cell phone with... Yeah. It won't happen on every planet, right? Because there's a particular history that has to happen for cell phones to come into existence.
