Think about this one for a while and see where it gets you. It just got me confused. Translating AG’s Latin title — Time devours things — doesn’t help.
John Archibald Wheeler was a physicist who worked on the Manhattan Project and then the H bomb, helped clarify the atom, made up the phrase “black hole,” wrote the textbook on gravitational physics, and happily went down the rabbit hole of the anthropic principle. As a physicist, he was part poet. He was friendly, gracious, and deeply unpredictable. Several years before he died at age 96, he said, “This is the most interesting world I’ve ever lived in.’
That’s no help either.
