Physics Of Time Quotes

“Think of the new conception of time, Digital Presentism, like real-time streaming of progressively generated content in immersive virtual reality. We’re all familiar with online music streaming, too: When you stream music online, every bit is discretely rendered, interpreted and finally interwoven into your unitary experiential reality. Only with Digital Presentism 'music' is also being created in 'real time' as if right from your mind... Since time can’t be absolute but is always subjective, Digital Presentism revolves around observer-centric temporality. What we call ‘time’ is a sequential change between static perceptual 'frames,' it’s an emergent phenomenon, 'a moving image of eternity' as Plato famously said more than two millennia ago.”

“D-Theory of Time, or Digital Presentism, gives us a coherent picture of temporal ontology: In the absence of observers, the arrow of time doesn’t exist -- there’s no cosmic flow of time. In fact, if we are to create high fidelity first-person simulated realities with experiential time predicated on reversible quantum computing for multiplayer virtualities, D-Theory of Time gives us a clear-cut guiding principle for doing just that.”

“As biological beings, we humans - anchored to our biology - can only experience a thermodynamic arrow of time in one direction but given our rapid technological advances and the forthcoming Cybernetic Singularity, that might change for good. The ultimate effects of future developments may appear quite strange to us, present-day humans, as the emergence of things like personalized 'non-linear' reality and fluid distributed identity could challenge our current biological and cultural assumptions. The resulting 'identity' architectures will transform our notion of personhood and form the kernel of posthuman civilization.”

“Physics can change your mind, your life and even your time.”
― Yash sharma

“Time cannot be slowed down. Either ride with it or increase your speed to get there much faster.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo

“If space is the x, y and z planes, time exists at a right angle to all three – moving in a direction we can't see.”
― John Barber, The Transformers: Robots in Disguise, Volume 2

“During the period of recollapse, the universe will not be running through its expansion in reverse. The notion that expansion and contraction would be symmetrical with each other is what Stephen Hawking calss his "greatest mistake”
