The views of space and time which I wish to lay before you have sprung form the soil of
experimental physics, and therein lies their strength.
They are radical. Henceforth space by itself and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into
mere shadows. Only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality.
Hermann Minkowski, 1908/1909
When we speak of time, what exactly do we mean?
to find answers, I referenced the various theories in physics and chose stone as the symbol of time. I chose stone for it is the result of different layers of time.
Rocks have been exposed to the powerful forces which shaped our planet; hence they all carry some part of earth's history.
I began my study with Einstein’s relativity theories, reached quantum physics and hooked-off
in space. however, throughout the research process, not only did the meaning of time not reveal itself but it moved further away to the unknown and in this way, it resembled art; without certainty. The abstraction which one expects from art, one finds throughout the theory of quantum physics.
Despite the fact that physics illuminated some layers of reality of time for me, this subject is still unknown.
