"In relativity, time is interwoven with space - it can bend or stretch. This is a far cry from the way most physicists talk about time in quantum mechanics, where it is a fixed, separate entity. But physicist Vlatko Vedral wants to change that."

So the small island of sanity in modern physics - the absolute time of quantum mechanics - will be destroyed. Earlier Einsteinians were trying to reconcile the (correct) absolute time and Einstein's (preposterous) relative time (in Big Brother's world
scientists reconcile 2+2=4 and 2+2=5):
Natalie Wolchover: "The effort to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity means reconciling totally different notions of time. In quantum mechanics, time is universal and absolute; its steady ticks dictate the evolving entanglements between
particles. But in general relativity (Albert Einstein's theory of gravity), time is relative and dynamical, a dimension that's inextricably interwoven with directions X, Y and Z into a four-dimensional "space-time" fabric."

Perimeter Institute: "Quantum mechanics has one thing, time, which is absolute. But general relativity tells us that space and time are both dynamical so there is a big contradiction there. So the question is, can quantum gravity be formulated in a
context where quantum mechanics still has absolute time?"
