i think i understand how the future is layed out.as the light of stars billions of light years away already 100 percent gonna hit this area whether the earth will still be here or not, our minds act in similar way. anything we do is a planned reaction to the creation of the universe in a certain way. once it was created everything is already set to its destination through time, gravitation, chemically, and physically.its 100 percent will go through this path just like the lights of distant stars
The problem I have with the idea of the block universe is as follows: It seems to me to be quite plausible that if time is literally part of the whole continuum, then past, present and future events are there, frozen, as an existing part of the universe. But if our experience of time is merely a psychological mechanism, surely it requires the passing of time for the mental experience to happen. Like all theories of time this seems to need a meta-time to work.
@SeladorCellardoor The block universe is a philosophical theory involving a static universe without temporal becoming. It might seem puzzling how experience can be accounted for without the flow of time. But I think it can be fully explained by the notion of temporal parts. It's a philosophical concept employed to explain what objects are. I believe that with this conception of objects, temporal becoming as a mere psychological mechanism can be fully accounted for...
Thank you for this excellent video series. I have been trying to work out what was missing from my understanding of relativity and Professor Stannard explained it when he described length contraction.
@richardnevin I had the same thing when he explained length contraction, but that leaves me with another problem: if you are moving at close to the speed of light, your time gets slowed down to the ones who stand still (so you experience that their time is going faster) ; but you could also say that you stand still and everyone else is moving, then their time seems to get slowed down to you (and they experience that your time is going faster).
I see 'Time' as motion, not as a fourth dimension, but as motion with in the 3 dimensions. Just like if u see a person on the 3rd floor of a building at the corner of 1st & 2nd street. Each obsever will see that person in slightly a diferant way as 'Time' is seen in a differant way by observers. At point a, b, & c there is a dot, & the next instant the dot is somewhere else it is motion/'Time' because the dot isn't where it was before. If it moves back it is still motion & continuing onward.
In that way 'Time' is what is observed by the motion, each person can agree that there was motion but not agree exactly by how much, or the speed of that motion, since it will seem to have changed depending on the perspective of the observer. However the 'Time'/motion is either moving forward or at rest, in which way time could possibly stop if the speed of light or, the absolute zero were reached. One no motion and no time, the other change couldn't catch up to the motion/'Time'.
s = v.t; is the same as saying t = s / v. To maintain t = constant, if v increases then s decreases by the same amount. Couldn’t it be said this way? Time is a constant for everyone, what changes is speed and space. What seems Einstein want to say is: speed is a constant, so: v = s / t. If space increases, time must decrease by the same amount... ? A bit confusing, hm?
If two watches are synchronized now and one of it is going to make a trip at the speed of light and then return. When again we compare the times of the two watches they will be the same, don't you think?
@feliztex I think it's been reported that even astronauts in orbit and satellites show 'Time' keepers slow down, and when they come back to Earth they do pick up speed again, but just to the amount that they slow down, so they and their clocks are still behind when they get back to Earth. As if there is something slowing down the atoms while going fast, and like Absolute Zero, move less and less when they go in a straight line and 'Time' slows. I give my theory of 'Time' above.
Don't you think there may be a fallacy on Einstein's theory of time? The thing is his theory looks at events perceived by different persons, that is, he tries to measure a differential perception based on the need of propagating information form one place to the other (between observers, say). Isn't that a fallacy and simply an illusion?
Has anyone ever noticed that when you dream, it sometimes seems as though you've been dreaming for hours, but when you awake, you realize that you've only been dreaming for an hour or less?
i was reading Kant in a sunny room today and i was observing the shadow cast from the mound of one page to the face of the another i Noticed when the page is flat the shadow does not move but as i bend the page the shadow starts to move Much faster in fact then the hand that bends it inward .. then for the first time age (27) it Occurred to me anything that Moves has a curve !Our universe is made up of Curves! everything.
After thinking quite hard about time, I came to the conclusion that time is change, or rather the perception of change. What is change? change is the conscious experience of the sequential unfolding of that which IS. At some level of 'reality' all events from the largest to the tiniest exist simultaneously--timelessly. Time is the experience of that reality manifesting in a sequential manner. That's the best I've come up with so far anyways.

Confusing, so much so that even Professor Russel gets confused. Thank you for all of the videos, I'm loving it, but this episode was the most difficult to fit in my head, until now. I already knew the theory of Einstein that said time is different with speed, but it is still difficult to understand how speed can change time...
Cool ... where is zero of time axis? Big bang? The marking of past, present and future has to identify the reference point. According to who? There is no answer to the question "what is the time in the universe now". And the point of "now" is itself has to be with respect an observer. Where do you put (0,0,0) of space 3d?
@NKblade On the contrary, 0,0,0 being everywhere is only true if space is infinite.
The conservation of momentum means that the universe's center of gravity has never shifted, that is where all matter and space emerged from, making the center of the universe and the 0,0,0 point
lmao at the ending

@MaxFlared The block universe is more than just determinism. The block universe is much more radical. Indeed it renders all change illusory.
