One commonly encounters a conflation of the philosophical idea of atoms, time, matter, motion, etc., with the (modern) scientific concepts. That atoms are composed of quarks of course has no bearing on the original (and persistently recurring) idea that there has to be a fundamental element, some irreducible "thing", whether that's framed in terms of energy quanta, information bits, integers, sets, or what have you. Similarly, Einstein's relativity of time and the curvature of space, this idea of space-time, does not invalidate the fundamental notion of something following another and of the instantaneous arrangement, notions that are orthogonal to the concept of entanglement in a Riemann manifold. |
