I have recently listened to a podcast by Radio Lad called “Beyond Time”. The podcast talks about how time affects all in human society, and how things like certain societies and objects change over time, as well as people who want to change time, like turn it back.
It starts with an artist who made a sculpture made with steel and aluminum which mixes over time, and the sculpture would not be done until 3,500 years in the future. There were children who saw this statue and went up to observe it, touch it, even hug it. It was interesting that the guy would do this, even with how fast time changes different places, that he would do this project to watch how the metals mix and fuse, and that it wouldn’t be finished until he is long gone.
The podcast goes on to talk about how to emulate the beginning of things, elements, and the universe, since all we have now was made from something before it, so the guy observes some actions of nature and atomic reactions and some historical and current projects and works done by people and how they change over time and how the way people do things change. They observed both old and new objects, so it further emphasizes what all the world can change over time, and that nothing stays the same.
The podcast definitely showed how time affects people and objects alike, and the stance people take on time, whether they want to go back to the past or let time progress.
