PART 9 "...and then the other thing is again that I would say that by trying to eliminate TIME, WE COME TO A VERY DIFFICULT POSITION because how then to understand evolution? How do we understand our OWN human evolution?"

PART 8 "It means that in the real, fundamental theory, there should be no difference between TIME and SPACE, and that in some way Time has appeared thru this breaking of the dramatical (?) germinal (?) germatical (?) symmetry at the beginning of the Universe, as a kind of fluctuation.

PART 7 "I would say that not only was there a lack of INTEREST, there was even a kind of defensive attitude. IT SEEMED THE TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE WAS THAT IT HAD ELIMINATED TIME, and I just could not believe in that, because after all, time is our main existential experience. This nostalgia for a timeless universe appears in many places – in Hawking’s book: he says ‘To understand Time, we have to replace REAL time with IMAGINARY time.’ Now what does this mean?"
