Physics discoveries leave everyday and institutional time structures untouched.

Evidence

At present, however, they help at most to strengthen the enigmatic character of time. Therefore I hold both of these assertions to be mistaken: the relativization of time in the natural sciences does not lead to the collapse of temporal structures in our social institutions and our temporal orientations and horizons. It leaves time structures and perspectives at all three levels (everyday time, the time of life, and historical time) untouched. At best, “relativized time,” especially when combined with esoteric bodies of thought, may take on the functions of a new sacred time for some actors. — Hartmut Rosa, Social Acceleration, 147
