| Sumario: | This paper is a celebration of Martha Rogers’ conceptual ideas, specifically her translation of Einstein’s theories of the cosmos into theoretical principles and perspectives for nursing. The paper presents an overview of Einstein’s theories of relativity, with a focus on spacetime symmetry and its parallels to Roger’s theoretical principles. The broken symmetry of temporality is explored in reference to ontological questions in nursing. Epistemic implications of Einstein’s special relativity and the speed of light are addressed. The paper concludes with a theme of translating metaphysical concepts into empirical inquiry for nursing. |
