- Einstein’s Theory of Relativity places “ time” and “ space” as variables. Time depends on where two observers are in space . Depending on position and motion they would disagree on the duration of events. Their variability could even be extended to where two observers could disagree on the order in which events occurred.
-
- These discrepancies are all dependent on the speed and direction observers are traveling because this affects the time it takes light from those events to reach them. Light speed is the only “ constant” here.
-
- Given these perceptions for two observers one could perceive a future that someone else perceives as a past. Their perception all depends on their positions and motion. The distinction between past, present and future is an “ illusion”.
-
- Some physicists disagree. They argue that the future cannot stand on the same footing as the past. That concept could imply that the future has already been set. What happens to “ free will” in this case. The past is real and can have an affect on us today. The future can not influence us because it does not yet exist.
-
- Two observers can disagree on the duration of an event only if that event has already occurred and is in the past.
-
- The Universe pushes forward day by day. At the surface of time’s march forward there is uncertainty of future changes compared to the certainty of the past. This concept enters the realm of Quantum Mechanics where a transformation from uncertain probabilities observably become fixed in reality.
-
- In quantum Mechanics, the math that governs the subatomic world, it is impossible to predict the precise state of a particle until you measure it. Speed and position remain unknowable until they are observed. Only at that instant does the wave-particle collapse into a single, randomly determined identity. The final outcome is never predetermined.
-
- From this point of view Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity theory are incompatible.
-
- Quantum Uncertainty states the future is not determined until it happens. As events happen a wave of certainty transforms the open future into the closed past.
-
- If time is an illusion, it is a very persuasive one.
-
- The gap in this theory is to explain how the subatomic effects cascade upward to create an effect across the Cosmos.
-
- Today quantum collapse requires an observer. But, some physicists agree that quantum collapse can occur across the Universe without a conscious observer being present. For example, simply when two particles happen to collide.
-
- In this perspective quantum collapse, or decoherence, is happening all the time and everywhere in the Universe. Time is real. Life itself is an experiment in common sense.
