New Theories / Does the future already exist?
« on: 23/03/2011 21:49:21 »The book I'm reading right now has made the claim that the future already exists.Eric, if I may say some, as far as Relativity goes, there is no present, whilst past and future exist under the same “celestial vault” and are both physically treated on the same footing. I am here referring to the four-dimensional continuum advocated by Minkowski and fully endorsed by Einstein. Either, take it or leave it.
As for the rest, I think some scientists are heavily speculating perhaps more than some chaps like myself. The only difference being, they have a wider audience.
This is what I'm saying. All of space-time, which includes all events that have happened, are happening, and will happen for all of time (regardless if that "time" is infinitely long) is this maze I imagine. Instead of having more than one universe there is only one. But that single universe has many different corridors in the same way that a big maze is just one maze with a lot of different paths.
There is not really more than one you in the maze, but the other possibilities that could have been realized had you made different decisions are still there.
