Response to Einstein's Dreams (19 April and 24 April 1905)



 The reading once again sunk me into a feeling of nostalgia. Thinking about time and its possibilities makes me feel ephemeral, nonsensical. The first chapter talks the dimensions of time. People, ‘narratives’ follow the same laws of physics, they exist not in a single reality, stories move around, they are not linear. The reading also let me to think about decisions, something I don’t like thinking o much about because I get tangled with the future. “So an object may participate in three perpendicular futures” says the reading, but yet a story may to, even without provocation.

The second reading also touches on decision, we may live in whichever time world or time dimension we please. Or maybe our bodies intrinsically lean in a specific direction. I constantly question this, for I’m always late, and never understood the importance of being early or even the numerical meaning of ‘in time’. For when I am not in time, time offers something more yet I know some people is directly affected by me not been in time, so I question how do both words exist for they are not in the same time? Shall we all become mechanical to be able to be ‘social’?
