Featuring JJ Simon, author of Humans: Actuators of Time

A New Chapter in the Story of Time
In 2018, physicist Carlo Rovelli invited readers to see time anew in The Order of Time — not as a universal flow but as a phenomenon born from relationships. Since then, his works Helgoland and Sull’eguaglianza di tutte le cose have continued exploring how reality itself may be more about connection than substance.
Now, author JJ Simon joins that conversation with Humans: Actuators of Time, a provocative new work that builds on Rovelli’s relational philosophy by turning its focus inward — to consciousness as an active participant in reality’s unfolding.
From Observation to Creation
Rovelli’s theories show that time does not exist independently of the systems that experience it. Humans: Actuators of Time extends this insight beyond physics, suggesting that human awareness may act as the “missing variable” — the dynamic element that gives shape to time’s flow through perception, attention, and intent.
Rather than a detached observer, the human mind becomes an actuator, transforming potential into experience.
Two Perspectives, One Truth
| Theme | Carlo Rovelli | Humans: Actuators of Time |
|---|---|---|
| Nature of Time | Emergent and relational, tied to entropy and information | Co-created through consciousness and perception |
| Observer’s Role | Defines properties through measurement | Shapes and collapses possibilities through awareness |
| Reality | A web of interactions | A participatory field of creation |
| Focus | The physics of connection | The consciousness of participation |
Both works converge on the same revelation: there is no objective reality standing apart from the observer. Rovelli maps the architecture of interaction; Humans: Actuators of Time explores the creative agency within it.
Bridging Science and Spiritual Insight
Where Rovelli writes as a physicist-poet, Humans: Actuators of Time speaks as a consciousness cartographer — merging cosmology, philosophy, and inner awareness into a single continuum.
Together, they trace the same cosmic truth from two horizons:
- Rovelli describes the dance of relational physics.
- Simon’s book reveals the dancer within the choreography.
Why It Matters
At a time when science and spirituality often speak past one another, Humans: Actuators of Time serves as a bridge — affirming that understanding reality requires both empirical insight and self-awareness.
It invites readers to see themselves not as subjects in time, but as conscious participants of time — agents through whom the universe experiences itself.
