27. Natural Reality / A. Classical Physics / 2. Thermodynamics / d. Entropy
22905
|
Becoming disordered is much easier for a system than becoming ordered [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / C. Space / 6. Space-Time
22913
|
The universe expands, so space-time is enlarging [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 1. Nature of Time / c. Idealist time
22889
|
We should treat time as adverbial, so we don't experience time, we experience things temporally [Bardon, by Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 1. Nature of Time / i. Denying time
22900
|
How can we question the passage of time, if the question takes time to ask? [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / b. Rate of time
22898
|
What is time's passage relative to, and how fast does it pass? [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / e. Tensed (A) series
22897
|
The A-series says a past event is becoming more past, but how can it do that? [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / f. Tenseless (B) series
22901
|
The B-series needs a revised view of causes, laws and explanations [Bardon]
|
22896
|
The B-series is realist about time, but idealist about its passage [Bardon]
|
22903
|
The B-series adds directionality when it accepts 'earlier' and 'later' [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / g. Time's arrow
22910
|
To define time's arrow by causation, we need a timeless definition of causation [Bardon]
|
22909
|
We judge memories to be of the past because the events cause the memories [Bardon]
|
22904
|
The psychological arrow of time is the direction from our memories to our anticipations [Bardon]
|
22906
|
The direction of entropy is probabilistic, not necessary, so cannot be identical to time's arrow [Bardon]
|
22907
|
It is arbitrary to reverse time in a more orderly universe, but not in a sub-system of it [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / h. Change in time
22883
|
It seems hard to understand change without understanding time first [Bardon]
|
22890
|
We experience static states (while walking round a house) and observe change (ship leaving dock) [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / i. Time and motion
22884
|
The motion of a thing should be a fact in the present moment [Bardon]
|
22892
|
Experiences of motion may be overlapping, thus stretching out the experience [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / j. Time travel
22911
|
At least eternal time gives time travellers a possible destination [Bardon]
|
22912
|
Time travel is not a paradox if we include it in the eternal continuum of events [Bardon]
|
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 3. Parts of Time / d. Measuring time
22882
|
We use calendars for the order of events, and clocks for their passing [Bardon]
