Resumen de The now delusion
The current theories of space and time teach humans that past, present and future are all equally real and fundamentally indistinguishable. Back in 2006, cosmologist George Ellis began to sketch a different picture. His starting point was not relativity, but quantum physics. A strange fact about quantum physics is that indeterminate future outcomes are seemingly governed by probabilities in the present. Quantum objects exist in "superpositions" of more than one slate until such time as people measure them, when they adopt one or other of their possible forms. Here, Slezak investigates whether the past, present and future do exist only in humans' heads.
