The Physics of Time

D-Theory of Time & Temporal Mechanics

The Science and Philosophy of Information book series is adapted for general audience from the grand volume titled “The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind’s Evolution,” a treatise by digital philosopher Alex Vikoulov on the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, the physics of time, digital physics, philosophy of mind, foundations of quantum physics, the Technological Singularity, transhumanism, the impending phase transition of humanity, the Simulation Hypothesis, economic theory, the extended Gaia theory, transcendental metaphysics and God. In this book two of the series, the author addresses probably the most interesting questions in science and philosophy: What is the deeper nature of TIME? Is Time fundamental or emergent? What does it take to build a time machine and travel to the past? "Time is a moving image of eternity." This is the opening quote by Plato to volume 2 of The Science and Philosophy of Information series. And here's a revelatory passage from the book: "Time seems to be moving for us in one direction in a linear, incremental fashion which is not a result of immutable physical laws but rather their probabilistic interpretation -- things are said to get messier overtime, to move from more orderly states, towards more entropy, disorderly states. However, a growing number for physicists now regard entropy as a measure of information, [i.e. complexity] not of 'messiness'."
