Perhaps the implicate order of quantum physics can be understood more relativistically and perhaps relativity theory can be reformulated in terms of quanta.

Bergson was worried about the interpretation of relativity theory proposed by Minkowski in which time is a fourth dimension of space and in which the experience of temporal relations is analogous to shining a flashlight through the fourth dimension and finding the things that are «already there» (timelessly there).

Dirac brought relativity theory to bear on quantum physics so that it could properly deal with events that occur at a substantial fraction of the speed of light.
