Two Quotes By Physicists

I encountered a quote today that triggered my memory of another, similar one. Both statements were made by twentieth century physicists.

Konrad Finagle said: "Space is what keeps everything from happening in the same place."

Richard Feynman said: "Time is what keeps everything from happening all at once."

Einstein referred to these as "spacetime", a single continuum.

I am not going anywhere with this. I'm in pondering and study mode. I just thought that I'd pass it on.
