Theoretical Physics And Foundations Of Physics Have Not Made Much Progress In The Last Few Decades. Whether We Are Talking About Unifying General Relativity And Quantum Field Theory (quantum Gravity), Explaining So-called Dark Energy And Dark Matter (cosmology), Or The Interpretation And Implications Of Quantum Mechanics And Relativity, There Is No Consensus In Sight. In Addition, Both Enterprises Are Deeply Puzzled About Various Facets Of Time Including Above All, Time As Experienced. The Authors Of This Work Argue That, Across The Board, This Impasse Is The Result Of The 'dynamical Universe Paradigm', The Idea That Reality Is Fundamentally Made Up Of Physical Entities That Evolve In Time From Some Initial State According To Dynamical Laws. Michael Silberstein, W.m. Stuckey, Timothy Mcdevitt. This Edition Previously Issued In Print: 2018. Includes Bibliographical References And Index.
This work investigates whether the prevailing 'dynamical universe paradigm' is the primary obstacle preventing progress in unifying general relativity and quantum field theory. The authors, Dr. Timothy McDevitt, Prof. Michael Silberstein, and W. M. Stuckey, draw upon their expertise in the foundations of physics to challenge the assumption that reality consists of entities evolving through time. They propose that shifting toward a block universe framework may resolve long-standing impasses in quantum gravity, cosmology, and the interpretation of experienced time.
