Spring 2024 "... until at last it came to me that time was suspect!" - A. Einstein (Shankland interview 1950) "... the concept of time is nothing more than a convenient, although potentially treacherous, device for summarizing compactly all the relationships holding between clocks." - N. D. Mermin It's About Time "...the Einsteinian view [of space-time] is the most comprehensive, the most profound, and the most accurate."- R. Penrose, Adam's Prize Essay 1965. "Grossmann is getting his doctorate on a topic that is connected with fiddling around and non-Euclidean geometry. I don't know exactly what it is." "We should take comfort in two conjoined features of nature: first, that our world is incredibly strange and therefore supremely fascinating. . . second, that however bizarre and arcane our world might be, nature remains comprehensible to the human mind." - Stephen Jay Gould
