That is a nice voice from 1932.

95 theses. 99 luftballoons. 9 9 9 Wally George. 9’s are wild. Crazy 8s.

I would put my money on no reality. Not the standard model. Not the block. Not parallel. Not string. Not multiverse. Not steady state. Not oscillating.

I can’t think of a reply or a witty retort. I can only hear the words “Diet of Worms” (sic) echoing in my head and I am visualizing a sleuth of bears chanting “I’m a Bear and Bears love to embrace Catholics” as they wander into the forest.

The “Diet of Worms” comes after the bears embrace and engorge on the frightened Catholics t…[Read more]

Reg, if aliens show up at your door and are to us what we are to eukaryotes and KNOW the nature of the universe what odds would you require before you laid down your money on the block universe?

Yes, indeed our timekeeping systems must correspond to real physical behaviour. Otherwise, they would be useless. Sundials, mechanical clocks, atomic clocks, radioactive decay all work because the universe contains stable and repeatable processes. But what they only do is to track regular physical change.

But moving from “clocks correspond to p…[Read more]

I think that Carrie Prejean Boller and Candace Owens have a secret deal going: If one becomes the first female Pope, the other will be the first female Grand Inquisitor. And if Brigitte Macron becomes the first female Pope, they’ll both go Martin Luther-mouth-foaming Protestant.

I’ll give all this my best college try, but it’ll be in small bites as much as I can chew and absorb.

I am not claiming that by treating time as non-fundamental explains daily life better. It doesn’t need to. We have evolved to quantify change as time passing. Cause and effect, before and later, and of course aging. This timekeeping l…

PopeBeanie:

The narrator was clearly an AI or Bot from how it mispronounced words. Also, the video had an appearance of being a grainy old-timey film when digital video doesn’t naturally have that appearance.

Given what was going on in Minneapolis, the story could have been credible, though the devil is always in the details and always needs…[Read more]

I am not claiming that by treating time as non-fundamental explains daily life better. It doesn’t need to. We have evolved to quantify change as time passing. Cause and effect, before and later, and of course aging. This timekeeping ledger system of quantifying change serves us well.

But the problem arises from within physics itself. General R…[Read more]

What does non-fundanental non-divisible time explain that is not explained by time as a fundamental and divisible?

Yes, I see it this way.  But what connects my subjective experience to my “now”?

Yes Simon, your subjective experience of “now” is real. I am not denying that. But the mistake is when interpret that experience as a objective property of the Universe. The experience of “time flow” and therefore the experience of a “now” is real but the interpre…[Read more]
