Meaning of this quote

The phrase questions ordinary ideas about time, but compresses a much more specific discussion associated with Einstein.

Key takeaway: Avoid treating a short slogan as a complete scientific explanation.

Origin of the quote

Possible compression of Einstein's March 1955 condolence letter to Michele Besso's family.

Who actually said this?

The documented letter concerns distinctions between past, present, and future; this three-word sentence is not its exact wording.

Attributed author: Albert Einstein (underlying idea)
