We conventionally think of time as something simple and fundamental that f lows uniformly, independently from everything else, from the past to the future, measured by clocks and watches.

The past is fixed, the future open. . . . And yet all of this has turned out to be false.

Carlo Rovelli is Director of the quantum gravity group of the Centre de Physique Théorique (CPT) of the Aix-Marseille University and Author of The Order of Time
