Physicists Have Come To Realize

Time Allows Change To Take Place And The Very Evolution Of The Universe Is What Requires Some Conception Of Time. Mathematically Can We Write Down A Universe That Doesn't Have Time? Sure. Do We Think That Would Be Realised In The Larger Reality That Is Out There? None Of Us Take That Possibility Seriously.

When I Give This Talk To A Physics Audience, I Remove The Quotes From My 'theorem'.

I Think The Relationship Between Memory And Time Is A Very Deep And Tricky One, To Tell You The Truth. I Don't Consider Memory Another Sense. I Do Consider Memory That Which Allows Us To Think That Time Flows.

In Quantum Mechanics There Is A Causing B. The Equations Do Not Stand Outside That Usual Paradigm Of Physics. The Real Issue Is That The Kinds Of Things You Predict In Quantum Mechanics Are Different From The Kinds Of Things You Predict Using General Relativity. Quantum Mechanics, That Big, New, Spectacular Remarkable Idea Is That You Only Predict Probabilities, The Likelihood Of One Outcome Or Another. That's The New Idea.

My Best Teachers Were Not The Ones Who Knew All The Answers, But Those Who Were Deeply Excited By Questions They Couldn't Answer.
