But it's actually beginning to slowly change now, as time-independent physics might be a reason why our theories work very well in specific areas, but tend to break down in a more holistic approach. See the work of physicist Lee Smolin in Time Reborn ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Time-Reborn-Crisis-Physics-Universe... ) on why time and information might be the…
