Description
Anthony C Proctor's On Time, Causality, and the Block Universe offers a fresh perspective on some of the universe's most fundamental questions. By substituting mathematical determinism for causal determinism, Proctor sheds new light on the nature of reality and the relationship between mathematics and physics.
This thought-provoking work deconstructs various aspects of experience, including quantum theory, change, choice, probability, and consciousness, to reveal how they emerge from a timeless block universe. The result is a conclusion that is both consistent with mathematics and experience, and provides a unique answer to the question of 'first cause'.
