- TL;DR Summary
- From online sources, I’ve found that the Block Universe interpretation has been take and “real”. Is this correct, otherwise, can you give me examples of experimental data that challenges it so I can better understand it?
Hello!
I’m a philosopher getting into philosophy of science, and I’ve found many physicists claiming that “block universe” theory is a necessary interpretation from relativity.
From what I’ve learned, I’ve found that, while relativity challenges traditional notions of “presentism” , it doesn’t have to lead to Block Universe as the necessary interpretation of time.
I talked to a physicist in my university that explained that quantum indeterminism, and recent findings on dynamic dark energy, challenge this notion of a block universe, but some physicists decide that they must “believe” it to be true as it is the most popular interpretation due to lack of evidence that conclusively contradicts it.
My understanding of physics is amateurish at best, so I was wondering if you could provide examples of experimental data or knowledge that challenges the Block Universe interpretation, or alternative valid interpretations.
Thanks in advance!
