Description

Anthony C Proctor's On Time, Causality, and the Block Universe offers a fresh perspective on fundamental questions about reality. By substituting mathematical determinism for causal determinism, Proctor provides a clear explanation of why mathematics accurately describes our observations and measurements.

This thought-provoking work deconstructs various aspects of experience, including quantum theory, change, choice, probability, thermodynamics, and consciousness, to reveal how they emerge from a timeless block universe. The result is an answer that reconciles both mathematical and experiential perspectives, providing a conclusion that is consistent with both.

By exploring the nature of time, causality, and reality, Proctor's book provides a unique insight into the relationship between mathematics and physics, as well as the mind-body problems of philosophy. A thought-provoking read for anyone interested in understanding the underlying principles of our universe.
