[net.physics] Time: A Perpetual Moment Machine

hsf@hlexa.UUCP (10/18/83)

Does the nature of time and space offer any hope for a new slant on the
question of "survival after death"?  After all, the flow of time
(as opposed to its direction) is a purely subjective reality; and
nothing that ever existed in time ever really ceases to exist.

I have a series of articles (Time and Immortality) that explores these
questions in some detail.  Although the subject belongs more properly
to the philosophy interest group, I would appreciate critiques, flames,
etc., from physicists regarding the material that attempts to explain
the nature of time.

Please vote yes or no for inclusion of this series of articles on
net.physics.  Reply by mail.  If you vote to let me proceed and
then don't like the material, I promise to go away.  Vote no if
you're deeply offended by all efforts to relate physics to philosophy
or (even worse) parapsychology.
