The Philosophy of Time

[@ChristopherHartbooks]

The professor was admirably patient in fielding the impolite questions from the audience.

[@VinnieMTG2024]

time is always a great topic and one of my personal favorites. thank you for the lecture

[@ketchup5344]

Because there is always only now, now is all that ever exists, and time is a concept supplied by thought in order to make sense of existence.

[@nostalgia63]

Good video. Philochrony is the theory that describes the nature of time and demonstrates its existence. Time is magnitive: objective, Imperceptible and measurable.

[@warlockboyburns]

"the view that all existence in time is equally real" sounds like backing up the rewriting of history

[@The_Empire_Chronicles]

That was excellent.

[@underdawg47]

It seems to me that the moving spotlight is a 3 demential snapshot taken second after second as this "present" wave of reality passes through this branching shrinking tree through a rigid medium perhaps an aether or space-time fabric that can't be seen or felt. The block of time being like a 3D TV screen. We wouldn't detect the screen or see the past or future because the present moment might be projected upon it like a hologram maybe.

[@MrMarktrumble]

What is the relationship between time and memory? Can there be time without memory?

[@MrMarktrumble]

what is constant in the clapping exposition is the point of view of the audience keeping time and viewing all of the claps and silences. They become the third man of an infinite series of "third man" perspectives. But none of each of all of these "third men" have memory, there is no past to compare the present to.

[@אביחיליפשיץ]

i belive it can, after all the events them self heppened qat the past but there memory of the event is at the present. but im not sure how much will we understand about time or anything because we gets our knowledge out of experience by my opinion

[@אביחיליפשיץ]

the memory of event**

[@DaBeezKneez]

all knowledge is interconnected, you can even find a relation between time and a piece of crap is you tried hard enough.

[@johneyon5257]

there are people who have suffered brain damage and are no longer able to hold on memories of events past a few seconds - (they have may distance memories - from before the trauma that caused the memory loss) - do they experience time? - no doubt - they go on living with the short memories they have - even if they lost all memories - even the few seconds they usually have - they would go on living as long as someone could care for them - and - time - would - continue - to - pass - - so memory isn't entwined with time - for a human - as long as he has life - the organism will experience passage of time - even tho the mind may not know it

[@lesohlhauser2834]

A wonderful talk, and you're a great speaker. Thanks a bunch.

[@chethanacenterformathemati6038]

Local reduction of entropy causing structure formation in this universe occurs only in the forward March of "cosmic time".

[@Road38910]

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flys like a banana.

[@DaBeezKneez]

Time doesn't fly you fool, it's not even aerodynamic.

[@gvardon]

Different fields have different views of time. For example, many physicists believe that the laws of physics are the same in the past, present and future. Historians see major differences between different periods of history. Among other reasons this is due to changes in thought, economies, technology, science, religion, racial composition and political structure.

[@jaydenwilson9522]

Time is lineally dynamic.... meaning it travels in one direction at different and dynamic rates of progression. Look at a clock and tell me time doesn't feel slower.

[@ears4D]

Tough crowd! I thought it was good

[@tomaszniemirowski]

In my opinion, time is the creative activity of God.

[@kasumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin]

1:15:36 So, is eternalism the majority view among philosophers and physicists?

[@Koran90123]

Yes

[@ravissary79]

Justin Time I would say classically yes. it's useful mathematically. I don't think the more modern revolutions in physics support it, but it fits the surrounding abstractions that link into it from ancient classical philosophy and it's sort of useful for any and all abstractions about those touching subjects... but it can't be proven, and it's a very limiting concept in that it either presupposes or produces the idea of a kind of fatalism and trivializes all potentiality by saying it's illusory and the you only ever were going to do A or B. why then even conceptualize choice or chance if choice and chance never describe actual experience? I think some medieval theologians really fell in love with Plato and Aristotle and how they talked about things because it helped them flesh out their Christian theories of reality, and hence they hitched their wagon to those classical categories of externality and it became permanently linked to the intellectual foundation of western civilization.

[@johneyon5257]

eternalism would be called the "block universe" by physicist - it comes out of Einstein's theory of relativity - there are dissenters among physicists - but it may be the prevailing concept in that group - - i don't know if it is among philosophers it's nice when someone comes along and presents alternative viewpoints to those of us who never took the time to investigate - to perhaps see where we fit - i'm a dyed-in-wool presentist

[@frankdimeglio8216]

TIME dilation ULTIMATELY proves ON BALANCE that ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity. This necessarily represents, INVOLVES, AND DESCRIBES what is possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE !!! Indeed, TIME is NECESSARILY possible/potential AND actual IN BALANCE; as ELECTROMAGNETISM/energy is gravity ON BALANCE !!!! Great !!!! By Frank DiMeglio

[@eugenioandrade5464]

Why not to refer to Bergson’s notion of Time?

[@vectorshift401]

Why not settle it experimentally?

[@robertdobos9745]

ok,after i am dead and gone,someone builds a time machine and goes back in time to the past where i exist as a child,am i dead or am i alive,is the past real or just a copy

[@scuro8847]

robert dobos the you now and the you in the past are two different people from the very beginning. I am dead in the future but I exist right now, thus the future me and present (technically past if following b-theory) me are different people.

[@DaBeezKneez]

time travel is impossible. Time is just an abstraction, an idea, you can't travel though it like a road.

[@johneyon5257]

you'll get different answers depending on who you ask - an eternalist would probably say the child-you is real - a presentist like myself would say "fat chance - you can't go back to the past since the universe has moved on and doesn't leave any residue behind" - etc

[@chethanacenterformathemati6038]

time is real and it does exist.[ref:'mathematical philosophy of time in minkowskian space'published in IJERT]

[@baiersworkshop]

sudhakaran gopalan no shit, but what does it exist of/as and how is it?

[@zeroonetime]

The end 0' Time \Timing runs over Time. 010

[@e11eme]

Wow guy at 52.50 do you even science or philosophy. Scientists dont have a clue what theyre talking about either and they usually have to appeal to philosophers, and if they dont appeal to philosophers they usually are philosophers as well . e.g. Newtons absolute time in his principles of natural philosophy or Einsteins space-time lightning bolt thought experiment in his relativity

[@ravissary79]

e11eme I got in a debate online with a self appointed scientist who didn't understand that you can't just say "the future is set and we are determined" say your opinion is science and then claim that a competing view backed up by a published paper that separated 4d minkowski time-space and the actual current moment where quantum potentiality collapses the wave form as being a state of matter in succession of change, but that the future and past are abstractions of the mind.... his response was to poor poo that as "Oh that's just metaphysics, I'm a scientist, metaphysics is a pseudo-science" if I facepalmed myself any harder I'd be leaving fingerprints on my medulla oblongata.

[@TheVaccineMachine]

Guy talks a lot but says nothing

[@substantivalism6787]

What do you mean?

[@vp4744]

That's why I thought the first question about philosophers having too much time was just right.

[@omarelric]

Terrible audience.

[@chrisscott7545]

he is slightly funny
