A second says the arrow of time points "forwards" for some universes and "backwards" for others. A third says that time doesn't exist at all—the universe is a bunch of connected "Nows," like integers on a number line.

Jessica Ruvinsky 2008-03-12T04:54:02Z Print Article http://discovermagazine.com/2008/mar/10-einstein-didn.t-grok-his-own-revolution Albert Einstein—creator of relativity, godfather of quantum physics, bender of space and time—had a little problem that dogged him all his career: lack of vision. He could rarely come to grips with the massive implications of his findings.
