The past hypothesis is a way to connect microphysical theory to the microphysical theory. It explains why time started with low entropy, and so we perceive it to have a direction microscopically. Emmett francis: Is there any way to reconcile this definition of emergence which seems non physical?
Welcome to the April 2022 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). I take the large number of questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable size — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
