I have so much more to write on this. I will try over the weekend. Just finalizing a project for work tomorrow, so maybe Sunday.

I’m at the surface level of these philosophies and physics, trying to look in. Is this just one loaf of bread, or is the next slice still unpredictable due to quantum probabilities/improbabilities? Do the ends of the loaf connect, looking more like a donut? In a many-worlds view, do an infinite number of future slices bifurcate into an infinite…[Read more]

It occurs to me we have no clue. And the ones who are educated only slightly greater enlightenment…maybe…
I thought as mass approaches speed of light it becomes infinite?

You are standing at your refrigerator, feeling the cold hit your feet after opening the freezer door.
Does it mean that the world is actually cooler than climatologists say?
Or maybe everything in the freezer is melting?

If the universe is a block that does not register local events then why would the big bang be an exception?
And if big bang is a beginning at what point does blocking become the nature of the thing as a whole?

Sunday School 4 months, 1 week agoJust reread Reg’penultimate entry & it makes sense to me except that i don’t think it follows that humans experience something that is subjective in our perception of time. Einstein allowed us to revolutionize our understanding of time. And yet that does not alter the reality of physical laws of time and the physical evidence that seems to be…[Read more]

Sunday School 4 months, 1 week agoIf fossils from age of dinos appear near the surface of earth and recent fossils below and without intervention or natural explanations then i will consider the notion time aint nothing. There is order precisely because there is time. The endless concatenation of events, of cause and effect, are consistent with linear notion of time that we…[Read more]

Some more thoughts……The human concept of Time is difficult to shake off. It feels intuitive but this is only because we feel an innate sense of Time because we have evolved a hard-wired temporal sensitivity. Marking the seasons and changes in the weather helped us survive. We even have a circadian rhythm to a natural light-dark cycle (as do all…[Read more]

Almost. In the block universe, things absolutely do happen. Stars explode or conversations happen. But these only happen locally (within regions of spacetime). What does not happen is a global update of reality. Another way of putting it (I am also explaining it to myself as I write this) is that nothing happens to the Universe as a whole but…[Read more]

Sunday School 4 months, 1 week agoEnco,
It is all recorded in the book of life.
Imagine day after day this white apparation of an English woman harassing a troop of chimps in Tanzania. Yeah they were annoyed but like clockwork she approached and gradually reduced distance between observer and observed. At long last she was tolerated until they were on level of acquantainces in…[Read more]

Time “marches on,” “flies,” “waits for no one” are not ontology. They are just descriptors of how humans feel but not how the Universe works.
Here are my thoughts on “Time and Momentum”. It is not Time…but Momentum that counts. Without the latter, i.e. relational events, the former is not required. Time would not have been conceived of w…[Read more]

“Now” is already gone the moment you say it. The instant you think now, neural processing time in your brain has already elapsed so the concept of “now” is reconstructed after the fact. “Now” immediately becomes a memory, not an event. The Andromeda Paradox destroys the idea of a universal cosmic present. Even two people standing a meter apart do…[Read more]

That is ok Enco. I am a very unstable half-wit.
The article on consciousness had me shaking my bald assed head. Same special creation ethos in science encountered by Jane Allgood. Yeah but those monkeys are only reacting to stimuli. Descarte’s automata. It is totally automatic whenever you are around. Pathetic.
