The Stubbornly Persistent: Melting the Frozen River of Spacetime (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781985830844)

Einstein famously claimed that the distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. His theory of relativity transformed the flowing river of time into a frozen river of spacetime, a reality in which time is as real as space, the future exists-and free will, also, is only an illusion. But there are those-the stubbornly persistent-who believe in science, and even Einstein's theory of relativity, but who also believe there are real, undeniable differences between the past, the present and the future. How to reconcile these contradictory beliefs? This book explores, in the words of the scientists immersed in these topics, our current understanding of relativity, spacetime, the fourth dimension, the fifth dimension, quantum reality and the nature of time. But the book has an agenda, a single goal: to discover a way for relativity's spacetime to embrace a flowing river of time within its boundaries. Ultimately, the book shows that such a reality is possible-by actually describing, in detail, such a possibility. It offers a glimpse into a universe in which free will emerges naturally within the laws of physics.. In order for scientific reality to agree with human reality, we must somehow melt the frozen river of spacetime.
