Physics has never suggested that all events coexist | Tim Maudlin #physics #time #quantumphysics

Physicists HAVE said that the notion of simultaneity is logically incoherent in relativistic mechanics. This was in fact a significant part of the results of Einstein’s clock tower/train or train/lighting gedanken experiment. In other words, the phrase “at the same time” is incoherent in relativistic physics. In this video, Tim Maudlin uses the incoherent phrase “at the same time” as if it is coherent, and that’s a problem with his argument here.

A hypothesis: "Mathematics as such need sequenciality: that previous / current / next element be defined. Mathematicians (like everybody else) also need a special, physical form of sequenciality: time. So do running Turing machines and the human process of observing the rules of nature."

[abrarmullan]

Time is a concept develped by us human according to our residency on earth.

[chrispercival]

The past present and future must co-exist in some way because there is no such thing as 'now'. We need an expression for coexistence that is not time-dependent.

[ludviglidstrom]

It always fascinates me how many weird and illogical opinions people have about time given how incredibly fundamental it is to us. (I am not referring to Maudlin, but the people in the comments and others.)

Since time is relative then Physics has suggested that the past, present and future are equally real and it's only a difference of perspective

[george]

Isn’t time just the entropy from the perspective of one system observing another?

[bahloolvoghouey]

It is perfectly intuitive that reality starts as something probabilistic and non-deterministic which evolves into the deterministic by acting upon it, so everybody create his own reality

Its hard to understand, that time depends on speed and the observer. God needs an "universal" time and space, not inertia systems.

[DannyMcCaffrey]

I do. Or at least I’m open to get my head blown off by any UAP implications. Materialism and Physics may be in for a helluva ride

[sakismpalatsias]

You forget about angels or degrees other than orthogonal. There, you get some odd results; especially with entangled particles.

Show me aliens with wristwatches and I'll see your time, crazy man.

[daniels]

The guy shaking his head 'Uhh no" is the star of the video Lol

[kevin]

Actually the other person is right, everything that has happened and will happen is here

[anearthian]

Debate be like "is the time long time ago and future time are at the same time".

[WhatAGuy]

Special relativity does, what's he talking about? The very fact that time dilation exists at all would imply it

[jeremyholbrook]

I think it would be interesting if time were a spectrum. Like a curve! Near future, now and near past. All part of now, with the same path and speed of entropy.

[chej]

But is there a time difference between the initial radiation of a photon and the exact point of its absorbtion and transformation from the photon's POV? Because it is my understanding that light doesnt bend to time.

[NeoIsStillTheOne]

It’s only entropy in a given space. “Time” is light for us as a species.
