#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

Yeah.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

These are all tied together.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

Sounds like you've done a lot of thinking about that.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

I've done a lot of thinking.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

I've done a lot of, what do I call it, flight time in different states, too, which can stress test a lot of the subjective experiences we have around time.

I would encourage, it can be hard, you can watch his TED, not TED Talks, you can watch his YouTube videos and so on before digesting videos, but Carlo Rovelli is a physicist, I believe he's most focused on quantum gravity, and he has some really thought-provoking writing on time.

I think one of his books is called The Order of Things, but... you realize pretty quickly that even within the halls of

quantum physics and mathematics, time is not this straightforward thing.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

Like a clock at your head runs at a different speed than a clock at your foot.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

And...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

When you start to look at these fundamental equations, I'd say maybe especially quantum gravity, time becomes this very slippery thing, right?

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

It's kind of like money.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

Like money is real in practice, but it's actually an abstraction.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

Not like you can use it, but it's really an abstraction.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

If you think about like the...

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

There's a book called The Biography of a Dollar about the history of money, which is worth reading.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

It's a very useful abstraction, but it's an abstraction.

The Shawn Ryan Show
#274 Tim Ferriss - Life-Changing Practical Wisdom Backed by Experience and Science

And so you can certainly, just from a secular scientific perspective, from credible sources like Carlo,

read enough where you start to scratch your head.
