Is time a fundamental part of reality? Quiet revolution in physics suggests not
- rekabis 9mo agoWhile I have come across the idea of information-as-entropy and gravity’s role in it, this is the first time I have read anything that stitches time into the equation. Holy. Shit. This sounds so very compelling.
- rbanffy 9mo agoThat, and probably that the speed of light is given by the latency of information transfer through space.
- akomtu 9mo agoDoes it mean that an old galaxy will necessarily turn into a black hole due to accumulated interactions in the past?
- svilen_dobrev 9mo agoso the universe is a revision control system? or only-last-revision system?
- hyperhello 9mo agoI wonder if since space is being created (expansion) and space is really spacetime then it’s really new spacetime.
- pmontra 8mo agoThe very last words of the article are > Time is something the universe continuously writes into itself. So the next question is "how?" We can generate interactions by bringing stuff close together, but the definition of closeness is not the naive one because entangled particles are close even if they are millions of miles away. Knowing the how could spare us the hassle of generating gravity by bringing stuff together and maybe even creating antigravity by unwriting those recorded interactions. But first, experiments experiments and experiments.
