Showing results for "tim-" in Physics

The real nature of time is still a mystery, even after thousands of years of philosophers and scientists analyzing it and proposing theories about it. Prophecy has existed for most of humanity’s time on Earth, and there is a lot of reason to think that seeing the future does reveal some of what happens and is about to happen. I also wrote two books on this subject, including the history of prophecy and my own experiences.

As we navigate through life we instinctively model time as having a flowing present that divides a fixed past from open future. This model develops in childhood and is deeply saturated within our language, thought, and behavior, affecting our conceptions of the universe, freedom, and the self. Yet as central as it is to our lives, physics seems to have no room for this flowing present. What Makes Time Special? demonstrates this claim in detail and then turns to two novel positive tasks.

This text revolves around a new and unusual view on the most fundamental puzzle of physics. It focuses on the key aspect that makes the role of the time dimension fundamentally different: causality. The implicit and intuitive way by which causality is usually taken for granted is just made explicit and less self-evident, shedding a new light on the gravity-quantum conflict. The case is made that gravity is a necessary condition for a causal universe.

Ultimately this is a podcast about time, but we tell the story through the history of instantaneous media, from the telegraph to the internet. In our first episode we discuss America before we understood electromagnetic radiation, The Age of the Iron Horse, The first broadcaster offering regularly scheduled programs, and we let you in on the fact that we're approaching these subjects like quantum physicists, not historians. We hope you'll join us for the ride.

We investigate time travellers throughout recorded history.
