I agree. Habits formed in childhood science classes, die hard. There are no particles that are entangled, because there are no particles.

As others have mentioned, a block universe is a philosophical ontology; it is not physics. It therefore should not be discussed in a physics forum unless there can be presented some evidence for it. I would be interested if someone can point me to such evidence.

I very much appreciate this discussion, as it is the primary reason I come to this forum. A couple of comments: While some physicists and philosophers may wish to refer to BM as deterministic, I think it is appropriate to acknowledge Bohm's viewpoint that it is causal and not completely...

If you understand the Bohm Interpretation, which eliminates all notions of this strange wave collapse, everything will make sense even the delayed choice which is nothing more than the Quantum Potential acting instaneously at a distance. In the Bohm Interpretation, everything is real. The wave...

Thank you. Can you provide me with a link describing the case of the astronauts. Presumably they were able to determine how to measure biological aging in a spacecraft vs. remaining in Earth. This is what I am most interested in.

Two twins can be measured to be of different ages, but are biological the same age, e.g. both have gray hair and aged skin. The question is whether clock measurement observations determine the biological aging process?

I am looking for evidence that biological aging is dependent upon clock measurements. If there isn't any, then that would end my inquiry.

Thank you, but I do not believe this addresses my question. I am specifically interested in the experiment that demonstrated that astronauts returning from space aged less than they would have if they remained in Earth. This is the claim that I would like to read about.

Aren't you asking a philosophical/metaphysical question, or has physicalism be proven as a scientific fact? I'm not asking about philosophical viewpoints, I am asking for scientific evidence.

Thank you all.

I am simply asking for evidence that biological aging is affected as is being suggested. I don't believe there is any laws of chemistry that can be used to support this claim. I'm not one to leap without strong evidence and theory.

I am differentiating between measured aging and real biological aging, as in the case of twins.

This is very interesting and addresses my question, which is solely about biological aging. Can you explain or direct me to a paper that describes how it was determined that someone biologically aged less in space than they would have if they were on Earth? This would be an extremely interesting...

Would you say this is scientifically proven? Can you point me to a paper on this subject with experimental evidence. I am trying to separate ontological, philosophical speculation from scientifically established evidence.

Are you saying that real biological aging is dependent upon clock measurements? It seems that this is a running theme. Had this idea been tested? I understand that observers can disagree on their measurements but that is different than saying that biological aging is dependent upon these...
