Simon Saunders explores the philosophical challenges of understanding time, drawing on physics, philosophy, and even cartoons.

i think time is an emergent property of oscillations in any space that is higher than 2 dimensions.
I’m not sure that this 13-year-old video is about “choice” at all.
But I think that nothing has changed in 13 years.
Physicists’ and philosophers’ idea that the world, including what people and other living things do, is merely an inevitable unfolding due to the “laws of nature”, is completely laughable.
In fact, the “laws of nature” are merely relationships between categories, i.e. they can’t allow a response to real-world situations.
I.e. the “laws of nature” are not sufficient to make a viable moving world.
While all around them, right now, people and other living things are actually making inputs to, and changing, the real-world in which we live, physicists can’t see it. People are jumping their own numbers in order to respond to their own personal situation, or in response to other situations that need to be dealt with. This is actually free will or agency or creativity, but it is often described as “making choices”, which is a completely nonsensical term.
When will physicists and philosophers finally wake up to the real world?

Re “quantum number jump” outcomes:
I guess that it is up to physicists to try to prove that the world would waste its time and energy by investigating and creating a list of possible or potential outcomes, and then go through the whole time and energy wasting charade again, when some aspect of the world apparently knows about, and then “chooses” an outcome from, this list of possible/ potential outcomes.
Wouldn’t it be more efficient for the world, or for something in the world, to just create an outcome in the first place, and be done with it?
