Re: Impossibility of time travel
I don't believe in the block universe because of the existence of the mind and decisions. I however think that the future is determined until the point of decision. Well, it would appear that the first sentence in the quote above completely negates the assertion made in the second sentence regardin...

Re: Impossibility of time travel
The bottom line is that Deja vu has nothing to do with encountering a pre-existing future, but more to do with our inability to experience the "TRUE NOW" that underpins all of reality. What she is missing is that she does not understand the delayed-choice experiment. Well, you need to tak...

Re: Impossibility of time travel
Do you still believe that Deja vu represents some untapped (yet viable) means for peering (traveling) into the future? The question is whether something which is going to happen in the future can have an effect on now. Please read Wheeler's delayed-choice experiment here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w...

Re: Impossibility of time travel
How do explain color blind if the objective reality is similar to what we experience? That's a good question, bahman, and it shows me that you are applying some critical thought to this issue. If I were smart, I would simply say "I don't know" and be done with it. However, where's the fun...
