【時間は存在しないのかもしれない】バーバーの時間論

"Time does not flow"—this was the conclusion proposed by independent researcher Julian Barber in his 1999 book, *The End of Time*. Barber, Platonia, the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, the time problem. The "flow of time from now to the future" that you perceive may actually be an illusion, merely a collection of countless static "nows" arranged in a spatial arrangement called "Platonia." Barber argues that past memories, fossils, and DNA—these are not "evidence that time has flowed," but merely parts of the rich structure of the present "now." This video carefully traces a journey through physics exploring the essence of time, from Newton's absolute time to Einstein's theory of relativity, the "time problem" of quantum gravity, and Barber's Platonia theory. We won't use complex mathematical formulas. We'll speak slowly and calmly. COSMIENCE is a channel that delivers the profound depths of the universe and science in a gentle narrative style. For those who want to satisfy their intellectual curiosity while drifting off to sleep.
