Max Tegmark is the equal best explainer of modern physics in Closer to Truth. Paul Davies is the other physicist with a very great talent for explanation. My favored Dinner Guests.
I was feeling depressed about my existence... but learning from the worlds greatest minds about the nature of time, I started thinking about that sublime and magnicifent dump I took last night after an epic nacho binge... Friends, that event will be eternal forever.
In my thinking, time is one of the human senses -- vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, and time -- which are each perceptions that evolved in our brains. Time is not a physical thing, but is our true 'sixth sense'.
Mitch you're right, we dont perceive time when we're immersed in what we r doing, just like we don't perceive the noise all around us when we r focused on wat sombody is saying
For vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch there are sense organs. There is no such organ for time. That's because time is a concept only. The 'concept of time' is a terse and very efficient way to think about the very complex movements of things relative to each other. Once one has fully understood and internalized the fact that time is a concept only, *all* the vexing questions about time evaporate completely.
I've felt for many years that time does not exist. After all, everything that has ever occurred, or ever will, happens at the same time....the present. The present stretches infinitely ahead of us, and behind us. One moment.
In the light of everything that has been said in this whole series I think that my believe that we live in a simulated universe seems ridiculously simple and straight forward. Almost conservative compared to multiverse, string theory with 20 dimensions or quantum branching reality full of various life paths and options.
If the flow of time is an illusion and the past, present, future are all set, why do we only perceive the present? If it's a 'movie' which is being played, then something (consciousness) is moving even if time itself isn't
First time... I've heard a rational explanation for making a time distinction between 3D and the flowing arrow of time, which is about the same as the reason for having a clock that is separate from the purpose of reading/measuring comparitive rates of elapsed time. Eternity-now is the significant identity of a unified origin of completeness and change, 1-0D zero-sum of defining eternal states of existence now by relative, constant-dynamic variability, in superposition. Ie it's the QM-TIME readout of WYSIWYG-physics.
Time and space are human thought constructs. We devised them to help us orient in our environment in this physical universe.There is a lot of speculation in every theory since we have no way of checking that a theory that we use is always correct, we only assume that it is always correct.
Flow of time is due to entropical gradient pressure . The level difference in gradient makes the time flow at different rates. Therefore time is basically a local phenomena as far as universe is concerned and there is no absolute time.
But then he says something very wise: "It is probably not that simple that you have a pakman picture of time, but there is probably some sort of granularity to time. "
Could the Universe be a continuum formed by one universal geometrical process that physics and mathematics are based upon? This process is formed by the spontaneous absorption and emission of light photon energy forming the ever changing world of our everyday life.
Physics is a science which is actually a branch of mathematics. Or better put, physics is a science which is committed to mathematics. The fuller understanding of what the human tool of mathematics is and how we create it in our brains seems to be tied up in the discussion and explanation of time.
Physics is a kind of science and similarly mathematics so you can always explain one through the other for understanding and explaining mathematics or physics or nature. Definition of science is just that.
What is irrational number is the representation of something from two dimensional two one dimensional. In one dimension time is irrational and when it gets two dimensions it represents reality.
Man, the universe is some strange shit. Time and the nature of self seem to be the biggest mysteries we have. Many of our conceptions on either may have ghosts and illusions to them.
Is he talking about determinism? is Max building a bridge connecting space-time and filosophy? He have coherent arguments, but at the end, he is proposing such a jump of faith !!! (bigger than string theory).
Is time fundamental? I do not think the 'many worlds interpretation' of QM is a good explanation. The metaphysical implications of the idea is not coherent. The hypothesis is not falsifiable either. Max Tegmark has some interesting ideas though. :-) About time: Time is change. It either exists or it does not exist. It is an 'either or'-problem. One way to solve this problem is to think about what the universe needs to do to get going: If laws are fundamental, in the sense that they compute future states from past states according set patterns (rules of inference), then this change has to be accounted for. This problem is as relevant to discrete description of the universe as for continous descriptions. This is why it is so difficult! I think time has to be fundamental (logically), but this problem takes me to the edge of my sanity. Reason: If potential change has to exists before 'anything' can instantiate that potential, then: a) The past must be infinite from the reference point of instantiated change. b) The future must be infinite from the reference point of instantiated change. What does this mean? It means that the past is as irrelevant as the future, but that any current state is nontheless affected by past-projections (memories), and future-projections (deduction). This is a paradox, and I do not know how to solve it. The whole matter is further complicated by the fact that 'change' seems so apparent at the macro physical level. It does not make any sense. It is one of the deepest mysteries I can think of. It seems trivial, but it is not. It is paradoxical.
If the past and future are infinite, then wouldn't it help to think of the continuum of time as a closed loop that evolves in its shape and complexity when traveling along the arrow (into the future)? I feel like the principle of evolution applies as a fundamental throughout all aspects of the universe, not simply biological evolution. An example of change and growth in the universe would be the ever heavier elements being produced by the first, second, and third generation of the stars since the apparent starting point of our perceivable origin point in our journey "the big bang".
Hugh Cake, time would be indistinguishable from space and motion etc. Also all things are causally connected and entangled with all other things and therefore the future is emergent but time is fundamental but in essence no different than the reality maker consciousness and all it's qualities which is the same as life. Some philosopher's like my self see time and space as consciousness or what most would refer to as God but in the Whiteheadian and Bergsonian schools of thought. I've noticed that process philosophies like those of Whitehead's have been marginalized because of our western based ideologies of determinism and destiny such Platonism and most types of idealism such as illuminism. This is more constraining to more liberating and sovereign perspectives of things like life/biology, consciousness and even evolution etc. This has led to ultra-materialism by way of our views of laws, rules and so on which are based on relational and context. So this problem of time is only a problem if we try to find rules for it and the thing is it don't follow a basic set of eternal principles it makes or creates the rules. Look up temporal naturalism, fuzzy space-time, and de animae. For example there are now true laws of life as there are many different kinds of exceptions to the supposed generalities. Life makes it's own self-imposed rules of conduct through manifestations by it's actions and agency.
@@lucaspierce3328 I think that time doesn't exist and that we have created time so that we can measur the rate of change in the state of matter. that's the limit of my thinking and i will be glad if anuone cares to take me beyond.
Problem with static 4d spacetime is we remember the past and not the future. If it were static and the "now" is just the illusion from the inside, we should be remembering both sides of time equally :/ why the preference of just the one where entropy goes up?
entropy and thus arrow of time is a property of particular (complex) systems, take a single electron for example, and it doesnt have such preference at all. Then, you prolly would agree that electron is more fundamental than some big ball of mud somewhere in the universe, then unchanging 4d spacetime becomes less wrought with problems we humans tend to assign to it. Take PV = MRT equation, it's so damn fundamental in many areas of human life? Why because it deals with complex systems in which we happen to live. But at the atomic/subatomic level this equation looses most of it's power and becomes just a statistical trick to deal with systems of which we dont have complete information. So could be the arrow of time and it's direction - it's not something fundamental, but a property of particular system, and so it's important to human as it manifests in us, but if we were electron-sized, we prolly would not have any such perception
@@Alejandro388 haha, electron-sized, that made my imagination go bonkers. I also imagine seeing space as whacky as the infinite probabilities an electron can move in it too. Like an inside out Feynmann diagram.
@@maestroanth so, can you counter argument that arrow-of time is not fundamental at the micoscopic level, and only manifests at macro-level as a mare statistical phenomena? What do you mean by inside-out Feymann diagram?
Modern science says that from a singular mass that banged, everything in existence and all the experiences experienced in this universe came about. What if we were still all within the timeless mass that never banged yet and we are just experiencing "time" before "time" within the singular mass itself? Everything that will ever be in this universe is all within that singular mass. Maybe the bang and all we perceive existing is all just happening within our consciousness within that singular mass?
+Charles Brightman What do you mean "yet"? and "before"? If time is an illusion and just a smoke-screen for something more fundamental, then words like yet, before, after, now, tomorrow, today are meaningless.
On "the flow of time is an illusion". We cannot sense the 'flow-of-time' because we have no time sense organ so the 'flow-of-time' cannot participate in the circumstance that gives rise to illusion. We can only sense the physical. Could our idea of the 'flow-of-time' instead be delusion? It seems to me quite possible in consideration of the fact that delusion is produced entirely by our thinking process. Seems to me temporal delusions are implanted in us by the cultures in which we are from birth embedded. Our cultures teach us languages and the majority of our thoughts. We do not consider 'time' to be a delusion. Instead, we hold 'time' to be a most important concept. But the concept IS a delusion that has gained legitimacy by being universally shared, extremely and ubiquitously useful and we are profoundly aware that civilization could not exist without it. e.g How could we synchronize our efforts without a temporal concept? This is but another chain of thought that should lead all to conclude time is a concept only. (See Carlo Rovelli's videos for deep and much better explanations).
Time is not fundamental. Why all the confusion about something we use everyday? Why do we imagine that time is like some fourth dimension? Have we forgotten the history of navigation? Here is my take on some human concepts: If we want to be able to communicate with each other about the 'size' of things, first we need to invent a tool, such as the 'meter'. And, if we want to be able to communicate with each other about the 'motion' of things, then we need to invent a tool that will measure motion; and that tool is the clock. We did not invent clocks to measure so-called time, but to measure motion. The word 'time' is simply the term we use to refer to the measure of motion. Tick-tock.
As he indicates, time is very possibly a 4th spatial dimension that is not the same as our experience of time's flow. Too bad he lost that train of thought by veering off into Many Worlds quantum speculation.
Time depends on what calendar you choose ;) Leap year anyone ? Throw in daylight savings. It’s like our government printing money. These are just human constructs we use to survive on planet Earth … or be controlled on Earth if you are less optimistic. Time has never existed and never will. 24 hours a day doesn’t apply to any other planet in our solar system. We are just doing our best to keep our concept of time in sync with the physical properties of our Earth in relation to the Sun. End of story.
I like Tegmark but he's wrong on this one. He's trying to hold on to time being real but it's not. That's why the host asked if the flow of time is an illusion then what is the nature of time? He couldn't answer because time ticks slow as you approach the speed of light until you reach the speed of light and no more ticks. Time is an illusion. It's emergent not fundamental.
Yeah, I honestly believe that time is just an illusion we have produced by interactions of particles producing new states, and the rate at which these interactions play out varies by the amount of interactions occur so time seems to slow given more mass. It makes way more intuitive sense and doesn't result in crazy paradoxes. The future hasn't happened yet, and going back in time is impossible unless you could reverse the way matter interacts.
I'd recommend giving the first few minutes another listen. He does in fact thoroughly answer this question of how one could distinguish between time itself being an illusion, and the sensation of temporal flow being an illusion. As a fundamental dimension, time is as real as forward-back, up-down, or left-right. It's only when you deconstruct our psychological experience of time does one become lost in such an illusory interpretation.
Maybe we are in a video game and we are stuck at the central point. The screen (Universe) move around us and time and consciousness is an illusion? It really bothers me that nothing is in real time anyways! Due to our subconscious and speed of light. We can never catch up to reality.
And don't believe in maths. The bigbangists said fractal geometry is the perfect maths, but humans never avoid using probability theory with its errors. and fractal cannot avoid using probability.
Time is an imaginary concept, created for the convenience of human endeavors. More fundamental are the three spatial dimensions and the motion of matter and energy within those three dimensions. Motion is the more real and tangible quantity than this convenient concept we call time.
Hi, when we speak About fondamentale like Time we have to respect the way we mesure or words. People learn big Time what we Say.

As (almost) always we have here a pair of physicists pretending to talk about reality when in fact they are talking about the word in the English language "time."

This man waffles lots.
I really like when he can't avoid laughing on the absurdity of everything xD
Based on what Max said, it sounds like even our life experiences are organic and branch out like trees, but we are only aware of one of the branches.
You mean at one time ?
As long as we've got the Uncertainty Principle, we'll have time.

thank you Max
How does truly understanding and believing these principles not drive one absolutely insane? It's pretty scary in a way.
To me:
"Space" is pure energy itself;
"Time" is the flow of that energy.
what is the difference between time and flow of time ?
This is incredibly interesting.
If the flow of time is an illusion and the past, present, future are all set, why do we only perceive the present? If it's a 'movie' which is being played, then something (consciousness) is moving even if time itself isn't
Does causation produce time in quantum wave function? How is causation represented in quantum wave function?
I want to see the rest of max's boat now :)
I think Carlo Rovelli explaines the non-fundametality of Time in his popular books about Quantum Gravity.
First time... I've heard a rational explanation for making a time distinction between 3D and the flowing arrow of time, which is about the same as the reason for having a clock that is separate from the purpose of reading/measuring comparitive rates of elapsed time.
Eternity-now is the significant identity of a unified origin of completeness and change, 1-0D zero-sum of defining eternal states of existence now by relative, constant-dynamic variability, in superposition. Ie it's the QM-TIME readout of WYSIWYG-physics.

What are the implications of time in quantum fields outside space?

Excellent discussion!
block universe has space-time (flow) in the past and quantum time (fundamental) in the future?
But then he says something very wise: "It is probably not that simple that you have a pakman picture of time, but there is probably some sort of granularity to time. "
so does this support determinism?
what's driving the DVD stylus?

And don't believe in maths. The bigbangists said fractal geometry is the perfect maths, but humans never avoid using probability theory with its errors. and fractal cannot avoid using probability.
shut the fuck up
This is word by word muslim concept of time. He n hamza yusuf should sit down
Amituofo 🙏
Time is an imaginary concept, created for the convenience of human endeavors. More fundamental are the three spatial dimensions and the motion of matter and energy within those three dimensions. Motion is the more real and tangible quantity than this convenient concept we call time.
No. Time does not exist. time is ideal, just number.
Yes, Anaximander
Time is a blockchain.
This way of thinking is very wrong and it seems except of Lee Smolin and Julian Barbour not many did realized this.
Hi, when we speak About fondamentale like Time we have to respect the way we mesure or words. People learn big Time what we Say. When we Say DVD, skisophrenia , DVD have nothing to Do with space time curvature. Please your invited this person Who through all kind of différents parabole about fondamentale huge question. I do not Say having fun it's not good when we speak About fondamentale question. Never I will say that. I tried to make joke some time. But me I just guess am not funny. Please just understand That, more complexe subject we get deeper, more we have to explain easier, look gravitationnelle wave the symbole of it it's a bow . Now I not the one who can talk about this particular subject. I Do so mutch different error about all kind of différents approche I try to explain it, but not sure science Community got it all time. And I'm so sorry about it. Belived me. Now my point is the Mr you have it's been 2 show that is wacht with Him. It is not is fault, it happen right. May be Him should take the flambeau and explain that it's si important that we should explain at the people the way science Community speak to each outter, and if coars with a lot of fun to. Because since over a bite more that the last decay, so Much people Read and also get some great BIG idia About science, métaphysic, philosophy, initie, so on. Sincères amitiés Philippe Martin
Entropy man, entropy....
For vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch there are sense organs.
There is no such organ for time.
That's because time is a concept only.
The 'concept of time' is a terse and very efficient way to think about
the very complex movements of things relative to each other.
Once one has fully understood and internalized the fact that
time is a concept only,
*all* the vexing questions about time
evaporate completely.
Max, though on top of the subject, yet seems to me a bit drunk !
This is a very add-hog combination of relativity and quantum theory.
why is consciousness so important to these physicists
the bereitschaft potential tells us free will is illusory. choices are not as real either
There is no time. Period.
Then why use periods?
Lots of incoherence
Ted Bundy stunt double
As (almost) always we have here a pair of physicists pretending to talk about reality when in fact they are talking about the word in the English language "time."
double talk, Max
Is he drunk in this interview?
@LaserGuidedLoogie: He's just modeling QM . . . by not being naively continuous as we typically expect the world to be.
Anyone can talk like this. No info here
