Hello I want to talk with you about Dr. Peter Rowlands works, which I find very fascinating.
Here is his talk about foundations od physical laws: https://youtu.be/BGAopIzAjyk Here is paper: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphy.2017.00028/full One of his main idea is that sum of everything in nature equal zero. Here are some of his other statemants: - time is irreversible and absolutely continuous (can't be measured and divided) - global entropy always increases - everything in nature constantly strives towards self-annihilation with the rest of Universe or the universal vacuum. My conclusions from the above are as follows: 1. In principle, sooner or later, every living system such as human being, or humanity will be annihilated. 2. In principle, if system is annihilated then it is irreversible - a system with the same internal structure may be created, but it will not be the very same system, it may be (at most) perfectly isomorphic, but it will not share the same identity. So, for example, if I die, and hypothetically, in the distant future, an exact copy of my body will be made than it will be an exact copy of my body and consciousness, but not my current identity, so my consciousness will not reappear after my death like from deep sleep. I would like to ask you, are my conclusions solid? In the past I have encountered statements that every situation, and every particular life, return endlessly because the time is infinite, but the number of possibile configurations of atoms is finite. This idea is terrible. Some people also talk about "eternal return" in the context of 4D block universe theory where every situation is timless, but this does not worry me because this is justified on the basis of special relativity theory which does not contain the "absolutely continuous" concept of time.
