Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

2. If you think of A-theory time as a wave that moves us forward through time, then the "wave" is Time itself, right? Then the same wave we are on now is the same wave as existed in 1953. One wave, Time that flows from the past to the future, meaning there is only one Time that is moving. The past no longer exists because the wave isn't there now, it is here. And the future doesn't exist yet because the wave isn't there yet.

For locations, I'd say the answer is "the stuff that is at the locations, and between the locations".

Same with Time in A-theory.
But in B-theory, 1953 is an actual existing location in space-time that still exists. As does 1954, 1955, and so on. So the only theory that does have different "times" is the block universe.
Maybe you don't even understand the A-theory you keep touting.Last edited by Sparko; 10-26-2022, 07:19 AM.

Good grief, you can not even speak about 1953 without invoking A theory. There is no 1953 in B theory because static time never changes. Nor can it. In A theory time actually does change...
It appears you don't even understand A-theory, much less B-theory. This is like arguing the color red with a blind man.

It was just a younger version of the universe that no longer exists, just like baby seer was a younger version of you that no longer exists. He wasn't a different seer.

Nonsense, but you are correct 1953 no longer exists that is because time flows, it is not static. And you can say that I exist as a bay somewhere but you don't get to put a year on it because years do not exist in static time, for that you need A theory.
