Thomas #Hertog, collaborator of the late #StephenHawking, claims his mentor came around to the theory of #evolutionary #universe with changing #laws of nature (and the reality of #time) - a theory offered yrs ago by Lee #Smolin, Roberto Mangabeira #Unger, but also Stuart #Kauffman among others - proposed just at the time Hawking published his notorious “Brief History of Time” bestseller.

@avani @mrdk @tao

Lee #Smolin and David #Bohm come to mind in #Physics.

Smolin on how much credit he is risking (body language!) by talking about the nature of #time

@DrYohanJohn Thanks for highlighting this very helpful video series that made aware of #Logiciel by #Cavia.

Some short remarks:

Implicit throughout the exposition is #Time as concept. Going back as far as #Brouwer it seems that commitments to #reason and #time should be put on the table together from now on. #Smolin was brave enough to do that in #TimeReborn.

Re: #Inferentialism #DNN & #Agency I point to @ceperez who is converging to similar conclusions, yet is skeptical on agency & autonomy.

@JamesGleick

Lee #Smolin in #TimeReborn and related books actually tries to formalise what this comic presents as a quirky truism.

If you read only one #Sciencebook this holiday season, make it #TimeReborn by Lee #Smolin.
