Leal draws heavily from Henri Bergson’s notion of duration —the qualitative, lived experience of time—as well as contemporary debates on the block universe theory in physics. In her own words:

– At a symposium organized by the European Physical Society, Dr. Varga presented a paper titled “Magnetically Suspended Systems as Platforms for Public Engagement with Temporal Physics,” citing Time Freeze as a case study in translating complex concepts into visceral experience. Leal draws heavily from Henri Bergson’s notion of
