Who this is
“He lived three intellectual lives — mathematician, philosopher of science, metaphysician — and in the last of them argued that the universe is not a collection of stuff but an ongoing act of creation.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“Reality is not made of things that endure but of events that become — momentary pulses of experience that arise, absorb their whole past, and pass their achievement on.”
