Dec 18, 2024
Kip Thorne, a renowned expert on Einstein's theory of relativity, dives deep into the fascinating concept of time. He discusses its intrinsic relativity and how our perception of time can differ based on individual experiences. Delving into quantum mechanics, Thorne explores the idea of parallel universes and the philosophical implications of altered timelines. He challenges conventional views by proposing that space and time may be emergent properties, reshaping our understanding of reality. Thorne's insights invite listeners to rethink their relationship with time.
