“One of the great intellectual mistakes Einstein made is that he thought that space and time are physically or ontologically entangled. In the present non-spatial universal computational program, space and time happen to be entangled to the extent that, under certain unique circumstances, changes in spatial measurements indicate changes in temporal ones. However, a change in the program itself may cause space and time to disentangle.”

About This Quote

Source Essay: The Nature of Space‑Time, Kedar Joshi, 2023

Einstein’s view that space and time are fundamentally intertwined is challenged by a computational model where they can become separate under certain conditions.

In simple terms: Space‑time may be linked but can be uncoupled in a program.

Key Takeaway

Consider how system changes affect perceived dimensions.
