In this following context,
1) what distinct meaning does the word 'since' give?
2) without the word 'since', can its meaning change?
3) About the underlined sentence, how should I take its meaning?
Context:
As C. E. M. Joad says in The Meaning of Life, “matter has since disintegrated under our very eyes. It is no longer solid; it is no longer enduring; it is no longer determined by compulsive causal laws; and more important than all, it is no longer known.
