Deep dives
Time in the Multiverse and the Quantum Concept
Time in the multiverse is a complex concept, not a flow but a series of moments. Contrary to our intuitions, time in the multiverse is not a sequence of moments. Each moment in the multiverse is determined by quantum laws, leading to a different understanding than in classical physics. The concept of time in the multiverse challenges traditional ideas, presenting a unique perspective on causation and the open future.
