   Idea: The Universe is better understood in terms of events, rather than objects

   Hmm, I like this idea but I wonder what it means inside a black hole, if time becomes space. I mean. if time really does become space then there is no “when” right? and therefor this is a region where the Universe doesn’t have events, interactions and possibly any meaning. Confused.com doesn’t help here 🙂

   More from Rovelli in his lecture. Very hard to disagree with and nice to see someone pushing the boundaries in a way that makes people look at things in a slightly different way. It’s still physics, but not as we know it Jim.

   Not sure if this is the original idea but its mentioned by Carlo Rovelli in a Closer To Truth video.

   Sick to death of this “spooky” shit. Get over it.

   Rovelli really is your guy for this – I highly recommend his book where he convinced me that yep, events and not objects are the fundamental reality. Objects are so one dimensional after you have read this, I will never go back to my old way of thinking – he is a great explainer. Buy it and say goodbye to the silly old world of objects.

   Kind of makes sense. an event means time has elapsed. without time there was, is, will be, well nothing. Which experiment lets you study things stuck in time with no events, none.
