‘We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.’

Man understood. He would have been king on ELI5. 🙏
I would love if this was a a verifiable quote of his, but I'm failing to find that.
Albert Einstein in his own words // Raymond Wells
Best I can find
Something a neurosurgeon/quantum biologist taught me recently that blew my mind is Einstein’s work disrupted the correlation vs causation application within the scientific method. He keeps repeating in various podcasts that cause and effect relationships are less trustworthy because time is relative. I’m still having trouble bridging the gap and understanding but it is pretty disruptive to my worldview.
Also, to your note, we need way more physics-literate people in medicine and healthcare because Einstein was dead on!
Time is a manmade construct
there’s some monumental way these themes apply to our favorite time chain and its implications for humanity 😏
If you can’t fully grok it, how has it disrupted your worldview. The relativity of time has to do with objects/observers moving at or near the speed of light and observers not moving at that speed. Maybe he was referring to experiments dealing with such dynamics, but there are equations to account for that. I imagine physicist would have said that way before this guy.
Approximate speed of light velocity is not a requirement to apply the relativity of time theory. “According to relativity, the order and simultaneity of events are not absolute, but depend on the observer’s frame of reference and the geometry of spacetime. Therefore, two events that are correlated for one observer may not be correlated for another observer, or may even have a reversed causal order. This means that correlation alone is not enough to establish causation, and that causation requires a consistent causal structure of spacetime that respects the light cones of events.”
By my worldview, I was referring to how isolated cause and effect relationships are not as reliable as hard truths as I’ve previously concluded.
It’s not the only factor, gravity also impacts time’s relativity. Funny enough as you trend towards the speed of light your mass/gravitational pull approaches infinity. It’s understood that when observers disagree about an event they are moving at different speeds, or are in frames of reference with varying gravity. My physics is rusty, but that’s roughly it. The discovery of relativity is not necessary to know that correlation does not necessarily imply causation. Ice cream sales increase in the summer when it’s hot (correlation), but clearly ice cream sales do not change the temperature of the globe (causation).
I guess I’ll have to listen to what that guy was saying to get why he had to being in relativity to explain that correlation is mot always causal
