Seen in terms of geometry, it is closely analogous to two cars driving at equal speeds ##v## down straight roads that make an angle...

This is wrong. Both of them are traveling "into the future", and there is no way for either one of them to meet back up again with the...

Not the book referred to in the OP. That's a pop science book, not a textbook or peer-reviewed paper.

I'm not sure what you mean. But I might be the wrong person to ask, since my own take on QM interpretations is that, while they can be...

@anuttarasammyak you are trying to analyze quantum experiments using relativity, but using non-relativistic QM. That's not going to...

How should the Lorentz factor be applied to motion that is not classical? We don’t. Proper time is the length of a path through...

Moderator's note: Thread moved to the Classical Physics - Mechanics forum.

No, Copenhagen basically says that we can't even know any "ontology" over and above the probabilistic predictions QM makes for...

This is simply wrong. Time is part of what is contained in the block universe, and processes happening over time are simply geometric...

Without a reference to the actual scientific literature, we have no way of knowing.

A standard Copenhagen-like interpretation doesn't take any position about what is really happening with "the evolution of the universe"...

If you are unwilling or unable or express your ideas here in the language of physics (math), what makes you think you understand it well...

And it seems as though your only reason for starting this thread in the first place was to try to get to a point where you could present...

Which is why we use math. Math is not ambiguous. And why we don't concern ourselves with the semantics of words. Words are ambiguous...

Moderator's note: I have moved this thread to Other Physics Topics because it is not a General Discussion thread; it is a physics...
