There have been some very interesting, but sadly flawed, attempts to explain the nature of time by certain members of the scientific community recently. Essentially, the Block Universe theory posits that spacetime exists as part of a four-dimensional block, and that the Universe is a block containing all the things that have ever happened and will ever happen.

My own thoughts are that is complete hogwash. I aim to prove some time in the near future - a near future which according to the Block theory already exists - that time expands in the same way as space. I sense that the scientific community's inability to pin down the cosmological constant to an exact figure is a product of this misunderstanding. Sadly my limited ability to explain these conjectures mathematically means that you people will just have to take my word for it.

HTH.

That’s the one culvin
