I think Max Techmark has this mathematical universe where he says, you know, the universe is kind of like a block universe. I apologize to Max if I'm getting it wrong, but people think you can just move. You have the initial conditions, and you can run the universe right to the end and go backwards and forwards in that universe. That is not correct.

That's why, that's it.

That's why, that's it.

Yes, and that you can have, and that's what, this is why the law of the excluded middle, something is true or false, only works in the past. Is it going to snow in New York next week or in Austin? You might in Austin say, probably not. In New York, you might say, yeah. If you go forward to next week and say, did it snow in New York last week? True or false? You can answer that question.

The fact that the law of the excluded middle cannot apply to the future explains why time is fundamental.

Impossible. Impossible. So here's why. I'll make a really quick argument, and this argument isn't mine. It's Nick's and a few other people.

Yeah, so I'll give my view, which kind of resonates with his. But basically, it's very simple, actually. He would say that your ability to design and do an experiment is exercising free will. So he used that thought process. I never really thought about it that way, and that you actively make decisions. I used to think that free will was a kind of consequence of just selection.

But I'm kind of understanding that human free will is something really interesting. And he very much inspired me. But I think that what Sarah Walker said that inspired me as well, that these will converge, is that I think that the universe... The universe is very big. Huge. But actually... The place that is largest in the universe right now, the largest place in the universe is Earth.
