That wasn't my question. Do you believe your
experience rules out the block universe?
If you mean a pre-determined universe, I think that
is ruled out by quantum randomness. But I don't
think our experience rules out there being a
4-dimensional map of all events.
Sure. General relativity gives us the idea of a
4-dimensional Lorentzian manifold, over which one can
lay a coordinate chart.
But that is not an ontology.
But my point is it could be (and that it is a simpler theory
if it is).
But the inference often drawn from this picture is
hyper-determinism. Hyper-determinism isn't impossible, but
it's not implied by the fact that there can be 4-space map
for labeling events.
What is hyper determinism and how does it different from plain
old determinism?
It includes the behavior of the experimenters, so Alice and Bob
don't have any freedom to choose the orientation of detectors.
Gerard t'Hooft is the main advocate.
Is it the same thing as super determinism?
I don't think what I described is super-determinism, as what I
described is a many-worlds theory.
A many blocks theory?
