“Our entire belief in objects,” [Bergson] wrote in Creative Evolution (1907), “indeed rests upon the idea that time does not bite into them."

The only "objects" I know of that time does not "bite into" are mathematical abstractions such as integers, or God existing outside of time. No physical entity (Einstein was concerned, after all, with physics) escapes being embedded in time. Can love transcend time? Only to the degree it, like mathematics, transcends physics.
