Quotes by Hans Reichenbach in Time One

… physics makes statements about reality …

The problem of time has always baffled the human mind.

P]hilosophy and science have become estranged ….

[T]hree-dimensionality would thus be recognized as a logical consequence of certain fundamental properties of matter, which in turn would have to be accepted as ultimate facts.
