2020-12-08: Why Do You Remember The Past But Not The Future?

  • 00:00: The laws of physics don’t specify an arrow of time - they don’t distinguish the past from the future.

  • 08:40: What if some future type of brain scan allows 98% predictability of your choices?
  • 09:15: The short answer is we don't know how well we'll ever be able to forward model a brain's behavior, even with the best future technology.
  • 09:55: Another important consideration is whether or not the future is actually singular and determined, regardless of the existence of any agents of choice.
  • 10:04: In the Copenhagen interpretation, the future is singular but undetermined.
  • 10:09: One future will happen, but it's impossible to predict what it will be.
  • 10:12: In the many worlds interpretation, the future is plural and determined.

2020-10-20: Is The Future Predetermined By Quantum Mechanics?

  • 00:13: And does that mean that the future is predestined?
  • 00:31: In a block universe of Einstein's relativity, there's no way to cleanly define the present and so no way to cleanly separate the future from the past.

  • 05:31: So how do these interpretations connect with what relativity tells us about past, future, and present?
  • 06:01: That leaves your future light cone undefined.

2020-10-13: Do the Past and Future Exist?

  • 00:05: Is the past erased and the future a void yet to be filled?
  • 00:09: Well the answer lies in between the past and the future - in the elusive, ever-moving eye-blink that we call the present.
  • 00:41: But today we’re definitely doing physics, because physics already tell us a lot about the reality of the past, future and present.
  • 00:55: The past is gone except in our memories, and the future is a blank slate ready to be written into the past.
  • 01:02: But interpreted some ways, physics suggests that the future and the past exist eternally, while the present is an illusion.
  • 01:27: ... as the forces that act between those particles, you could calculate all future and all past states of the ...
  • 02:16: ... agree on, and so everyone would also agree on what was past and what was future. ...

  • 08:48: ... of you, things once in the future will become the present, and behind you the past becomes the present and ...
  • 09:16: Let’s get back to the question: what does all this say about the reality of the past and the future.
  • 09:23: Imagine that the future is created as the wave of the present sweeping out the block universe.
  • 09:40: The largest tilts are for things traveling at the speed of light, and these sweep out the future light-cone.
  • 09:47: In front of the future light cone is the region that is in the future for everyone, no matter what their speed.
  • 09:55: So is that the future that doesn’t exist until created by the evolving present?
  • 10:14: They have future light cones, simil to our, offset in space from ours.
  • 10:19: ... space beneath their future light cones defines all possible defines all possible definitions of the ...
