The Order of Time / 时间的秩序

The Oder Of Time, written by Carlo Rovelli, is one of my favourite book, and it described time and the meaning of time in a physical way. It is total different what I understand time before. I thought time is non-reversing, and never knew that it had many amazing features from a physical perspective. So I started to think about time and became interested in science.

In this book, I have learned that common understanding of time is one of the result that how we choose to observe things around us. Also, time is various when different people look at it in different ways. These differences shape people’s life. Time just likes a ruler, which is used for measurement. We use time to record changes, lives and so on so that we can rethink ourselves at every special point in our life. Therefore, I want to use some pictures and words to express and summarise my own feeling and understanding of time. I used wheels, trees made up with wheels and a little monster to tell a simple story that how the monster realised his world varied while he was traveling outside.

《时间的秩序》是一本我非常喜欢的书,它在书中用物理的方式描述了时间与它存在的意义。我之前对时间的理解是线性的,是单一的,我从来都不知道原来时间在物理的角度下能够有如此之多我不曾知道的特征,也促使我开始思考时间对我来说意味着什么,并且开始对科学感兴趣。

在这本书中,我了解了我们对时间的共识实际上是如何选择看待事物角度的结果之一。由于我们所处的环境不同而对时间有不同的认知,这些差异造就了我们的生活。时间是一把尺子,对我们来说尺子是测量事物的工具,时间也是如此,它被我们用来记录变化、记录人生、记录出生与死亡,然后在每一个特殊的时刻拿出来反思与审视。它被我们亲手塑造。

于是我希望能够通过一些图画与文字,来表达与总结我所理解的“时间”与感想。我用轮子,轮子组成的树枝和一个被困在轮子里的小怪物来讲述了一个很简单的故事,也是我接触到《时间的秩序》一段心路历程。
