It's been a while since I read Lee Smolin but from what I can remember he was saying that: Time is real and fundamental. It's not reversible. Everything changes

It's been a while since I read Lee Smolin but from what I can remember he was saying that: Time is real and fundamental. It's not reversible. Everything changes in time, including potentially the laws of the universe.
- jimwhite42 4y agoI heard Robert Wright talking about this sort of idea, I think he was inspired by Smolin. > Smolin thinks our universe may itself be a product of a kind of evolution: maybe universes can replicate themselves via black holes, so over time — over a lot of time — you get universes whose physical laws are more and more conducive to replication. from here: https://evolutionnews.org/2017/01/robert_wright_a/ https://evolutionnews.org/2017/01/robert_wright_a/ A wikipedia article describes Smolin's "Cosmological natural selection" as an alternative to the anthropic principle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_natural_selection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_natural_selection
