 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
For philosophy, far the most important thing about the theory of relativity is the abolition of the one cosmic time and one persistent space, and the substitution of space-time in place of both. This is a change of quite enormous importance, because it alters fundamentally our notion of the structure of the physical world, and has, I think, repercussions in psychology. It would be useless, in our day, to talk about philosophy without explaining this matter.
