Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal · Jim Al-Khalili: The Ontology of Time. We Had It Backwards · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

Because it's a putty. voice-verified

That's not exactly space, not exactly time. voice-verified

Until you are an observer and your trajectory then traces out a time. voice-verified

So now you can have a time and a space when you're an observer. voice-verified

But then to visualize what the block universe is, we can only visualize it from one observer's perspective. voice-verified

But the block universe is technically that plus the invariant structure that allows you to interpolate between different observers. voice-verified

So you can't exactly visualize it. voice-verified

Good. voice-verified

So that's what I thought the block universe was. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified

I think the issue, not with what you've said, but what people visualize, including myself, say, 10 years ago, is an isolated, it's an ice block. voice-verified

I mean, the easiest way to visualize it is an ice block, but it's some ice block of some observer. voice-verified

But then at the same time, there's not the observer, there's multiple observers. voice-verified

And so it's quite tricky to just visualize it voice-verified

And the arrow of time, which are distinct. voice-verified

Yeah, voice-verified
