Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal

CHAPTER

Events vs. Processes in General Relativity

This chapter explores the critical distinction between events and processes within the framework of general relativity, emphasizing the nature of events as singular occurrences contrasted with the dynamic processes that describe them. It examines the implications of this distinction for both consciousness and causal set theory, highlighting how the birth of space-time atoms presents challenges in understanding time and causality. The discussion also reflects on the evolution of thought connecting conscious experience with the fundamental structure of reality.
