Time Question
Does anyone have any links talking about what time is for a non-technical reader? I just read a discover magazine article:
http://discovermagazine.com/2007/jun/in-no-time And I'd like to know more. I am thinking it's reasonable that time doesn't exist in the same way that we think about it, just as most things don't. I am having a lot of trouble thinking of time not being a fundamental process though, as it seems to be so pervasive for us. I remember reading some articles about reverse causality a while ago though, and need to read more things like this to help form a proper opinion on time. |

Re: Time Question
I wrote an intro to this here:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...4251&page= It is a bit mathy, but hopefully gives you a taste of the difference the historically understood "time as a parameter in the Schrodinger equation" and "time in the Wheeler-DeWitt equation", which was mentioned in the article you cite. Also -- that guy Carlo Rovelli who was referenced in that article is my hero. |

Perhaps it'd make more sense if I understood past the first paragraph of the wikipedia entry |
