Quantum physicists... is there any supportive evidence that suggests time doesn't exist in linear form...?

Question

as we generally understand it?

I read somewhere that Einstein had some interesting things to say about time. So my first question is... was he a quantum physicist as I know little about him. And two, what were his views about time....

Answer 1

I think what you are thinking of is more along the lines of special relativity (break down of simultaneity, casuality).

Answer 2

Einstein discovered quantum physics.  I encourage you to read a biography about him.  I just listened to a podcast interview with the author.  Einstein was a very interesting person.

Answer 3

In the quantum world, yes (see link). Einstein was perhaps the first quantum physicist, being partially responsible for the discovery of the light quanta or "photon" from his research regarding the photoelectric effect. However, he departed from quantum mechanics over his belief that the universe was ultimately deterministic (e.g., the famous "God does not play dice" quote).

Answer 4

He was the first quantum physicist.  His theory, the Special Theory of Relativity, explained how space and time were connected, how matter was interchangable with energy, and postulated the existence of many of the quantum particles through formulae.

There was an exhibit either at Liberty Science Center or the Museum of Natural History with an Eistein exhibit.  Go see it.
