This chapter delves into the nature of time, discussing its role in understanding change and storytelling. Through the perspectives of a theoretical physicist and an individual who has experienced personal loss, the episode examines time as a narrative, its influence on human creativity and legacy, and the ways in which it shapes our experiences of grief and connection to the supernatural world.
Our lives are so rushed, so busy. Always on the clock. Counting the hours, minutes, seconds. Have you ever stopped to wonder: what are you counting? What is this thing, that’s all around us, invisible, inescapable, always running out? What is time?
