Carlo Rovelli‘s excellent book demonstrates that, “to understand ourselves, we must reflect on time, and to understand time, we must reflect on ourselves”.
In my personal view, time does not exist in Nature; rather, it is an anthropogenic construct, used to interpret the natural world and to develop our technological systems. Ultimately, it is an indispensable tool, and if, as Rovelli suggests, it helps us reflect on ourselves, then it is doubly so.
