Some of the ideas in modern science have also affected our understanding of the fact that the time space is in the center of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity. Popsci.com information portal I tried What is it: structure, substance or metaphor.
The true nature of time space is not just a philosophical question. It is located in the center of the modern explanation of physics and influences the literal sense to all aspects of reality, from the way we understand the principle relative to the fictional ideas of time travel, parallel universe and human origin.
But whenever it comes to description of time space, scientific language often becomes faint, metaphor and inconsistency. Philosophy Ludwig Wittgenstein has warned that philosophical issues arise when “the language is on vacation”. And physics is a clear confirmation of this.
In physical philosophy, especially in eternalism, the word is not used in the literal sense. For reference, eternalism is an idea that does not flow and does not overcome. All events during the entire time are real in the four -dimensional structure, called the block universe.
According to this theoretical supporter, the entire history of the universe has existed immediately in time space. In this context, from the wrong time means that the universe does not open, unchanged. There is no change. There is only one block, and all the eternal exists for a person without time.
But this leads to another problem. If everything happens to the whole reality, and all the events have existed, is there no space?
The fact is that there is a difference in structure between existence and incidents. Imagine that next to you in the room is an elephant. Most likely, you will say that this elephant “exists”. It can be described as a three -dimensional object, but more importantly, an elephant is a three -dimensional object that exists. Now imagine that the same three -dimensional elephant was moved into the room for a while and immediately disappeared. It does not exist in the usual sense of this word – it only … happened. In a moment.
The first, existing, preserved time for the time and time categories of each moment of existence as a temporary four-dimensional line of the object of the object through space and time. And the second part, instant movement, an elephant is only one -third of this road.
Such an explanation may be applied to the space itself, but ethicalism erodes its boundaries. This theory considered eternal (ie time space) as an existing structure and the time process is no other than an illusion. But this illusion cannot happen if the time space is immediately moved in just a moment. For the time line, it is essential that the four -dimensional space exists in a way close to a three -dimensional existing elephant.
Due to the impossible piercing of this spiritual experiment, the structure of time space in public culture is described different. For example, in James Cameron's original Terminator, all events were recorded. Move over time is possible, but the temporary current cannot be changed; Events exist in a fixed state, incorrectly. And in the end, Avengers, characters can freely change past events and temporary changes, suggest the existence (and transformation) of the universe.
