I’m still waiting for the killer app that comes from the notion that time is not fundamental. If there isn’t one, then this is all just parlor entertainment, not science.

And there ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.

“Now is where I am now, in my timeline.”

Great…that is compatible with relativity. There is a subtle distinction to be made. Do you think “now” is a physical feature of reality….or is it a local perspective feature made by an observer within reality?

Yes, “now” is always local to an observer. You are local to “here” in your “now”. That is how…[Read more]

In all fairness, any prediction could be considered true if the prognosticator talks nebulously enough, moves the goalposts, and, above all, talks a lot. Astrologers, psychics, and self-proclaimed “prophets” do it all the time.

“Now” is not a universal property spread across space. The universe doesn’t care where the time zone line is drawn. Only humans do. Our segmentation of our experience of time flow is just a convention. The feeling that clock time reflects a moving reality is mistaken.

OK, true, the clock isn’t evidence of anyth…[Read more]

I used to know someone, a lowly speed freak from a council estate, who could tell people’s future. She could read a short distance into the future, and while we were all out that night, she told me about the drama that was unfolding at my home. When I got home, her story was true. She didn’t know where I lived, didn’t know any of the p…

@Strega – next “time” someone says that, you should reply that “A clock is not a time detector; it is a controlled physical process used to compare spacetime intervals”. That you get you a free lunch 🙂

@Reg reminds me of a bloke I had lunch with, who claimed he could tell me the exact time any place anywhere, so I asked him what time it was on the moon.  It seemed to perturb him.

When I sit still, time still moves, as is evidenced by the clock.

Simon, a clock does not measure the movement of Time. It records regular internal changes occurring in a physical (clockwork) system.  Your mind sees the second hand moving and you infer time is flowing. But is not.  Ticking clocks do not indicate time moving. If a clock battery d…[Read more]

Fellow Unbelievers:

What makes that Raw Story link above about Benny Johnson and Tim Burchett such a groaner is not just the conspiracy-ology and the reality denial, but also their complete irrelevancy!

So yes, we do experience a “present” but not “now”. Experience is a perspective from one region of spacetime, not evidence that reality contains a moving “now”. A camera records one frame at a time, but the film does not move through the camera — the whole reel exists.

I don’t know what it proves.  I’m not saying it…[Read more]

Reg:

I will concede with you that different observers experience time differently and it has been proven that two different observers at different speeds and elevations experience time differently. But saying that time is not fundamental or divisable doesn’t seem to follow from that. Unless I’m missing something, this notion doesn’t appear to…[Read more]

I was holding off on linking the Sweet Brown Video.

You can tell that the maker of that video shared an Atheist sense of humor from the Jesus cuddling the baby Tyrannosaurus 🧔🦖 and The Knights of the Round Table from Monty Python and The Holy Grail.

@Simon – Yes, but you only experience that dot moving through time. It’s “now”.

Let’s roll it back a little. Let’s try to separate “experience” from “physics”.

Yes, We experience a present. That does not mean reality contains a moving present or a “now” that is moving towards a future. This is our experience of what feels like the “flow of tim…[Read more]
