TEN THOUSAND DANCING SHIVAS
I have an enduring passion for Anaximander, the Greek philosopher who lived twenty-six centuries ago and understood that the Earth floats in space, supported by nothing. We know of Anaximander’s thought from other writers. Only one small original fragment of his writings has survived—just one:
Things are transformed one into another according to necessity, and render justice to one another according to the order of time.
“According to the order of time”. From one of the crucial, initial moments of natural science there remains nothing but these obscure, arcanely resonant words, this appeal to the “order of time.”

但爱因斯坦证明了,根本没有这个挂钟。
即使山顶和山下的差距只有1纳秒,这在哲学上也是毁灭性的。因为它证明了“时间是局部的、相对的”。一旦你承认了这1纳秒的差距,就意味着你必须承认:全宇宙没有一个统一的“现在”。
这正是他写这一章的目的——先用山顶和山下的例子让你接受“时间有差异”这个事实,从而在下一节,彻底带你推翻“现在”这个概念。
