"The world is not divided into stand-alone entities. It is we who divide it into objects for our convenience. A mountain chain is not divided into individual mountains: it is we who divide it up into parts that strike us as in some way separate. A countless number of out definitions, perhaps all of them, are relational: a mother is a mother because she has a child; a planet is a planet because it orbits a star; a predator is such because it hunts prey; a position in space is there only in relation to something else. Even time exists only as a set of relations."

-Carlo Rovelli, Helgoland
