About the episode

**Spolier alert** - Time doesn't exist.

Disruptors and curious minds, book lovers, readers! Welcome to book club. We're reading part 2 of The Order of Time by Carlo Rovelli. Once again it's a mindbender. Read this - or listen to us - an your mind will be as warped as the space time that you thought you lived in.

As Benjamin Franklin said once you lose it, you’ll never find it again. Theophrastrus said it was the most valuable thing you can spend. Pericles said it was the wisest counsellor of all. Oscar Wilde said punctuality steals it away.

Turns out they were all wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, Albert Einstein. “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

Or,

“Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute.”

Isaac Newton said, “Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without relation to anything external.”

Aristotle said, “Remember that time slurs over everything, let all deeds fade, blurs all writings and kills all memories. Exempt are only those which dig into the hearts of men by love.”

Time really is all we have.

Even if it doesn't exist.

Please Enjoy The Show.
