CONSEQUENCES OF NOW. “What follows from this concept of expansion along a one-dimensional time axis? If the present is the furthest point so far reached along the axis, and the present, by definition, has minimum duration then reality will appear to have only three dimensions and to be proceeding along in time as measured by events.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

PRECOGNITION. “… the seismic nature of these claims cannot be overstated: future events influencing the past breaks the second law of thermodynamics… It also completely undermines over a century of experimental research based on the assumption that causes precede effects”. https://doi.apa.org/doiLanding?doi=10.1037/a0021524 View in LinkedIn

SMALL ACTIVE ZONE. “We accept that space expands, throughout all space, by a small fraction of total space. It is surely natural, by symmetry considerations, to picture time expanding, throughout all space, by a small fraction of total time. In the standard picture, a burst of creation exploded outward in time and space at the instant of the Big Bang.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

CREATION. “In the STH picture we live in the same moment of creation today. Creation is not unusual, it happens all the time, literally.” (STH = Symmetrical Time Hypothesis). https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

THE NUT. “A great deal of difficulty has arisen due to the apparent incompatibility of the deterministic U-process and the probabilistic R-process.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

COEXISTING CONTRADICTIONS. “In order to even begin, however, in quantum theory, we have to accept that particles are waves and vice-versa, despite a wave potentially permeating all space and a particle occupying a tiny fixed point.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

LITTLE CONCESSION. “If we can conceptually swallow an elephant of that size, surely accepting the U- and R-processes as inextricable parts of each other is the mere equivalent of horse-swallowing, and the Feynman-Stueckelberg vision is perhaps dog-sized? “ https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

ISOLATION IS ARTIFICIAL. “Besides, we will see below that we can then avoid having to swallow Schrodinger's cat. In the view of this essay, the philosophical difficulty with the U- and R-processes lies in the fact that we have to make calculations for isolated systems, but there are no large isolated systems in reality, only one enormous universal wave function in continuous process of collapse.” https://lnkd.in/gDaxUYAS View in LinkedIn

CIRCUS MASTER. “I have become rather like King Midas, except that everything turns not into gold but into a circus.” (Albert Einstein). https://lnkd.in/dSyZ8e3f View in LinkedIn
