This paper describes Theory of Relativity and Conceptual Blending Theory, showing that literary researches have a place in cognitive linguistic study. These cognitive linguists claim that metaphor is a method of experiencing and understanding unfamiliar concepts via familiar ones. In this study, I raise some questions of the theory of physics and metaphors, ‘conceptual blending theory’ and more widely within the theory of relativity. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to review the cognitive linguistic metaphoric system of Virginia Woolf’s novel, To The Lighthouse. The nature in Wool’s novels is not beautiful and friendly to a man, but more indifferent and hostile to him. In this ambivalent nature, a man confronts conflicts with nature and feels a sense of threats or isolation from nature. In a modern world, human can not but feel a sense of alienation and confrontation between man and man as well as man and nature. There exist various forms of invisible barriers between time and others in To The Lighthouse. Time plays an important role in making us choose the patterns of our lives. As a consequence of this analysis, this study claims that a critical idea in consilience raised questions as to our fundamental principles and gave them fresh creative theories.
