Einstein about the block-universe
Dolbeault, Joël
Einstein about the block-universe - 2018.
28
Throughout his scientific life, Albert Einstein thinks about the philosophical implications of his own work on time. From 1918, he makes a connection between the theory of relativity and the block-universe conception, according to which all moments of time coexist. Later, he clarifies this connection, explaining that the block-universe conception is the most convenient and objective interpretation of the theory. Einstein also develops the idea that, due to its deterministic commitment, physics as a whole allows to support the block-universe. With various people, he discusses some objections against this conception.
