My ideas about time all developed from the realization that if nothing were to change we could not say that time passes. Change is primary, time, if it exists at all, is something we deduce from it.

  • -- Julian Barbour 朱利安·巴伯

我对时间的概念都是从这样一种认识发展而来的:如果什么都不改变，我们就不能说时间流逝了。变化是首要的，时间，如果它存在的话，是我们从中推断出来的。
