1 " there is nothing real or true that is timeless "
― Roberto Mangabeira Unger , The Singular Universe and the Reality of Time: A Proposal in Natural Philosophy
2 " The road back to reality, we suggest, begins by making two affirmations about nature: the uniqueness of the universe and the reality of time. These together have an immediate consequence which is the central hypothesis of our program: that the laws of nature evolve, and they do so through mechanisms that can be discovered and probed experimentally because they concern the past. "
3 " the relation of mathematics to the world of temporal change and of phenomenal particularity is direct: less by induction than by what Pierce called abduction – an imaginative jumping off from an open-ended series of particulars. "
