Critical Thinking Blog Assignment # 7



Einstein and his discoveries on the scientific rule for time amaze me, including reading “Einstein Dreams,” about living within the moment.  In our society we tend to worry about the past and the future more often than we think about the present moment. When learning about time, time is based on the moment and life is unpredictable. We base happiness from our past and what we believe can happen in the the future rather than focusing the happiness that exits in the present. In the book, “Einstein Dreams,” the example in the book states, “Consider a world in which cause and effect are erratic” (29). It is true how life is unpredictable and how people focus on the past and the future, which none can be controlled or those moments replaced. In fact, we can only control the time during the present moment.  It is amazing how Einstein has opened my eyes to view life by understanding the scientific rule for time and learning to live and appreciate what happens in the present.

Understanding the overall ideals outlined in chapter, 3 May 1905,  I see that life should be more open and “Consider a world in which cause and effect are erratic.” Einstein has inspired the world to focus on the present moment because it can determine our past and future. If people can live a life as an artist, just maybe people can find true happiness by living a life that is unpredictable. For example, in the book “Einstein Dreams,” a young lady sits at a garden daily without searching for a lover. The young lady was just enjoying the beauty of nature until one day she meets a man without searching for love and now lives a fairytale dream. This example proves that the beauty of life is erratic. Also, one sees that by living within the moment it can be the best way to enjoy time as it is and there is no regret by living within the present.
