"Conventionally, one looks at history as something of the past. But after Einstein, who knows what is in the past and what is in the present?"
- Roland Joffe
About this Quote
This quote by Roland Joffe is a reflection on the idea of time and how it has been comprehended throughout history. It recommends that, prior to the work of Albert Einstein, it was usually accepted that history was something that had actually currently occurred and remained in the past. Nevertheless, Einstein's theories of relativity challenged this idea by suggesting that time is not linear, but rather is relative to the observer. This indicates that the past, present, and future are all intertwined and can be skilled differently depending on the observer's perspective. This quote motivates us to think of the principle of time in a brand-new method and to think about how our understanding of the past and present might be formed by our own private point of views.
This quote is written / told by Roland Joffe somewhere between November 17, 1945 and today. He/she was a famous Director from England.
