论文摘要
这是对Gruber等人（2022）和Bunamano和Rovelli（2022）的评论，该评论讨论了物理时间与人类时间之间的关系。我在这里声称，与那里讨论的许多观点相反，物理学观看时间的流逝与思维/大脑感知的方式之间没有基本的冲突。这个问题却属于许多误解，导致时空表示为永恒的块宇宙。实际上，物理扩展的宇宙实际上是一个不断发展的障碍宇宙，并具有时间依赖于时间的未来边界。这建立了一个全球时间方向，可以决定本地箭头的时间。此外，当量子波函数崩溃时，时间会过去。在此过程中，信息丢失。思维/大脑充当不完善的时钟，它可以粗糙地沿着世界线的时间通过，以确定经验丰富的时间传递，因为神经元过程需要时间。这是以上下文方式发生的，因此经验丰富的时间一般与物理时间无线性相关。最后，我指出宇宙永远不会是无限古老的：它的未来终点永远在未来无限遥远
This is a comment on both Gruber et al (2022) and Bunamano and Rovelli (2022), which discuss the relation between physical time and human time. I claim here, contrary to many views discussed there, that there is no foundational conflict between the way physics views the passage of time and the way the mind/brain perceives it. The problem rather resides in a number of misconceptions leading to the representation of spacetime as a timeless Block Universe. The physical expanding universe is in fact an Evolving Block Universe with a time-dependent future boundary. This establishes a global direction of time that determines local arrows of time. Furthermore time passes when quantum wave function collapse takes place; during this process, information is lost. The mind/brain acts as an imperfect clock, which coarse-grains the physical passage of time along a world line to determine the experienced passage of time, because neuronal processes take time to occur. This happens in a contextual way, so experienced time is not linearly related to physical time in general. Finally I point out that the Universe is never infinitely old: its future endpoint always lies infinitely faraway in the future
