Thank you Hypnosifl, I wasn't aware of the policy of capitalizing. I will use this in the future.
You know what? I don't have any definitive sources. Those Net reports are all I have. It must have stuck in my brain and lodged there as something more confirmable. *shakes my head* Feel free to alter it to something like "According to Internet reports, there were plans..." or whatever.

Wow, your kickin' Mnemopis's butt in the deletion debate. Way to make your case. Brentt 05:32, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I did a blanket revert, and I was unsure whether or not to revert the presentist stuff. I'm somewhat unfamiliar with especially the recent developments in Presentism, but because there was some removal of content that I thought was good, and it was an anon ip, I decided to revert. I do like your resolution better though :D Thanks for your edit. McKay 06:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
You deleted my contribution as 'original research' however it is not research, just points out a fairly obvious logical flaw in the original argument that shows the whole thing as absurd. -- 74.98.142.235 01:39, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, you removed:
"Within fiction the possibility of time travel has been conceived without violating the view of presentism. For example, an instance of time travel occurred inside a "presentist" framework in the 1999 film Galaxy Quest, wherein a device called the "Omega 13", which was thought to be an explosive weapon having enough power to annihilate the universe, in fact only rearranged every molecule in the universe to their position thirteen seconds prior (except seemingly for the individual activating it). Thus keeping future and past both within the arrangement of the condition of the present, and so never actually transversing "through" time."
You say "this section is for real philosophy" Two points on that, anything posited is "real philosophy, is it not? Real philosophy can be science fiction, it is anywhere to the level of 'real science' anywhere in this article, second point; then why does the article mention things like "Doctor Who"? You also say "--I doubt there are any philosophers (or scientists) who would say that rearranging the universe even qualifies as "time travel"" isn't doubting what scientists would or wouldn't think the definition of non-NPOV article editing? Putting everything the way it was previously is "altering time". The case is, the fiction work presented considered it time-travel, and it would fall within the scheme of presentist view-points about the limitations of the universe and space time. Thanks. 67.5.156.130 18:40, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea if this is the proper place for this, because I find the rules and structure of Wikipedia impossibly complex and incomprehensible. However, no doubt you will correct me if it's wrong. You reverted an edit I made to the Time Travel article, about the clock paradox. Your explanation is, I believe, fallacious and suggests to me that you have an incomplete understanding of relativity. My corrections to the article are drawn from the basic tenets of Special Relativity - in particular the equivalence of all inertial frames. Could you please explain what right you have to remove my corrections to this article? You have cited no evidence to support your contentions.

Hi,
Any further thoughts about the "retrocausal" double-slit experiments?
I found at some point that the discussion of "a photon" going this way or that way was messing my thought patterns up. What is important are total number of places where a photon (and its entangled counterpart) can show up and whether or not self-interference can occur at each. At first it seems that one could make something patterned on a truth table as used in formal logic. One could say, e.g., "The signal photons all show up at detector 0. The idler photons show up at detector 1, detector 2, detector 3, or detector 4." Then one would tabulate whether the photon that gets detected at d-0 shows up as part of an interference pattern, or whether it shows up as part of a non-interference "spot." But it isn't as simple as that if the experimental apparatus also does something different to the photons that show up at d-1 or d-2. In the Kim experiment, the physical apparatus results in a phase difference between the two sets of photons (i.e., any that end up at d-1 vs. any that end up at d-2).
It all sounds sort of intuitively o.k. to me until I try to deal with the time differences. We could put a camera with a timed shutter that would open and shut for the signal photon, and the spot would be made on some photographic film before anything showed up at any of the detectors for the idler photon. As far as I know, nobody is saying that the photographic emulsion that had been exposed at one time could get unexposed and then re-exposed to match the results given by the idler photon. So it seems as though it's a question of possible outcomes "outside of time." Weird.
I wonder why nobody has done that experiment and added an extra mirror that would put the two idler photons going into d-1 and d-2 in phase with each other. P0M (talk) 01:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
With regard to that your comment, I did not mean to blame you of WP:STALK, but it is generally a good idea to be mutually forthcoming. Thank you.Biophys (talk) 23:48, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I will defer to your opinion on the matter. My main point is that, unlike "War Of The Worlds" or "Independence Day," "Signs" does not show an alien invasion. At most, there are mysterious indications, and then---perhaps---one alien. It simply does not seem the same. But, do what you like. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 17:09, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
While your correct that none of the items on the list are cited (except for one) the majority of them already have articles on Wikipedia, or at least the author does. I apoligize though if its Wiki policy to allow a more liberal take on nobility on the lists. My problem is that a red link or simply unsourced text gives no one the chance to see whether this item is notable or not. For example someone who self-publishes a post-apoc novel that only is sold in a handful of book stores might try to get some free advertisement on Wikipedia by listing on said article, even though is novel wouldn't stand up to WP:BK. Also citing items on list isn't unheard of on some articles (see List of banned books, List of unrecognized countries, and List of zombie films). Still I'm willing to allow the revert though I still feel sourcing items that do not have Wiki articles would imporve the lists. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 16:09, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, I will attempt to resolve this. Rich Farmbrough, 03:02, 17 December 2009 (UTC).
I see you have been adding some good quality material to the white hole article. The current text a lot better informed that the tripe that was there in the past. It would be awesome if you could also reference some of those additions. This should help the article for becoming eroded by well-intended edits by users having watched too many SF movies.
I also noticed that you added some inline external links. For various reasons as explained at WP:EL, external links should not appear in the body of the text. It would be better to use ref tags to place them with the references. The ((cite web)) template can also be useful in that context to provide addition meta data about the link.

Hi. We seem to have a common interest in the philosophy of time. My interest dates to childhood when I first encountered the works of John William Dunne and later Parmedies and Zeno. I was wondering if when you might have a few minutes if you would be able to answer a question I posed on the talk page of the Wiki Eternalism article. It’s the recent addition entitled “Eternalism and idealism.” Thanks much and I appreciated your comments there regarding Quentin Smith and presentism.HistoryBuff14 (talk) 20:11, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Eternalism (philosophy of time) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. —Machine Elf 1735 21:02, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
In the philosophic literature, this is sometimes called the "block time" or "block universe" perspective, thinking of all space and time as a single existing block of spacetime. For our present purposes, the important point is that we can think about time in this way. Rather than carrying a picture in the back of our minds in which times is a substance that flows around us or through which we move, we can think of an ordered sequence of correlated events, together constituting the entire universe. Time is then something we reconstruct from the correlations in these events. "This ice cube melted over the course of ten minutes" is equivalent to "the clock reads ten minutes later when the ice cube has melted than it does when the ice cube is put into the glass." We're not committing ourselves to some dramatic conceptual stance to the effect that it's wrong to think of ourselves as embedded within time; it just turns out to be more useful, when we get around to asking why time and the universe are the way they are, to be able to step outside and view the whole ball of wax from the perspective of nowhen.
Opinions differ, of course. The struggle to understand time is a puzzle of long standing, and what is "real" and what is "useful" have been very much up for debate. One of the most influential thinkers on the nature of time was St. Augustine, the fifth-century North African theologian and Father of the Church. Augustine is perhaps best known for developing the doctrine of original sin, but he was interdisciplenary enough to occasionally turn his head to metaphysical issues. In Book XI of his Confessions, he discusses the nature of time.
- What is by now evident and clear is that neither future nor past exists, and it is inexact language to speak of three times--past, present, and future. Perhaps it would be exact to say: there are three times, a present of things past, a present of things present, a present of things to come. In the soul there are these three aspects of time, and I do not see them any where else. The present considering the past is memory, the present considering the present is immediate awaremess, the present considering the future is expectation.
Augustine doesn't like this block-universe business. He is what is known as a "presentist," someone who thinks that only the present moment is real--the past and future are things that we here in hte present simply try to reconstruct, given the data and knowledge available to us. The viewpoint we've been describing, on the other hand, is (sensibly enough) known as "eternalism," which holds that past, present, and future are all equally real.
Concerning the debate between eternalism and presentism, a typical physicist would say: "Who cares?" Perhaps surprisingly, physicists are not overly concerned with adjudicating which particular concepts are "real" or not. They care very much about how the real world works, but to them it's a matter of constructing comprehensive theoretical models and comparing them with empirical data. It's not the individual concepts characteristic of each model ("past," "future," "time") that matter; it's the structure as a whole. Indeed, it often turns out to be the case that one specific model can be described in two completely different ways, using an entirely different set of concepts.
So, as scientists, our goal is to construct a model of reality that successfully accounts for all of these different notions of time--time is measured by clocks, time is a coordinate on spacetime, and our subjective feeling that time flows. The first two are actually very well understood in terms of Einstein's theory of relativity, as we will cover in Part Two of the book. But the third remains a bit mysterious. The reason why I am belaboring the notion of standing outside of time to behold the entire universe as a single entity is because we need to distinguish the notion of time in and of itself from the perception of time as experienced from our parochial view within the present moment. The challenge before us is to reconcile these two perspectives.

Please don't give misleading edit summaries, you, yourself, have added two cites that specify Minkowski:
Block universe theory: Metaphysical theory that implies all of the past, present, and future is real. The name derives from the fact that a Minkowski diagram would represent events as points in a block if space and time were to be finite in all directions. Also called "eternalism."
—Machine Elf 1735 01:25, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
Peterson and Silberstein flirt with anachronism. One might suspect it's intentional and tongue-in-cheek: Karl Popper having gone so far as to call Einstein "Parmenides", and there being no question that ancient Greek geometry stopped short at 3D solids. To whatever extent a treatment of Heraclitus and Parmenides is well–characterized as a presentist-eternalist debate, "block time" would seem, rather, to emphasize the 20th century novelties that have reinvigorated such debate. That doesn't require Heraclitus and Parmenides to accept or reject Minkowski and Einstein...
As Ladyman et al. wisely note, the following are distinct but frequently conflated, deeply related questions in the metaphysics of time:
1. Are all events, past, present and future, real?
2. Is there temporal passage or objective becoming?
3. Does tensed language have tenseless truth conditions?
4. Does time have a privilaged direction?
This paper will focus almost exclusively on question (1). In the philosophy of time, this major question has captivated philosophers for decades now. This problem stems from two competing notions of time. The first, originally suggested by Heraclitus, is called presentism. Though we will later present the presentist position more clearly so that it can be made relevant to a more thorough and modern treatment of presentist/eternalist debate, a good starting defintion for presentism is the view that only the present is real; both the past and the future are unreal. This view is close to, but not the same as, possibilism, which states that the future is unreal while both the past and the present are real. Both of these stances claim to adequately capture the manifest human perception of time. We tend to view ourselves as occupying a unique temporal frame of that we call the present that always moves away from the past towards an uncertain future.
However, with the advent of relativity, a different stance, whose primary ancient proponent was Parmenides of Elea, provided a viable alternative to Heraclitean presentism. This new stance, eternalism, was translated into the language of relativity by Herman Minkowski in 1908 to suggest that time and space should be united in a single, four-dimensional manifold. Thus arose the notion of a 4D "block universe" (BU) in which the past, present, and future are all equally real. This view is called eternalism, and two arguments by Putnum and Rietdijk allegedly show that special relativity (SR) with its relativity of simultaneity (RoS) implies that only the BU perspective is correct.[1]

It is best to avoid changing your own comments. Other users may have already quoted you with a diff (see above) or have otherwise responded to your statement. Therefore, use "Show preview" and think about how your amended statement may look to others before you save it. Removing or substantially altering a comment after it has been replied to may deprive the reply of its original context.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi, regarding this (very old) edit, I'm wondering if you can provide a source or at least some more details... it seems as though it should be entirely possible to separate out the subsets with a reasonable degree of accuracy, since that kind of thing happens with signal analysis all the time. Given any individual photon hit, it seems that one should be able to assign a meaningful probability that it is a member of one or the other set, and that probability would be better than 50-50 given the distinct patterns of each set. There is no a priori statistical reason (that I can see) that would rule this out. So why the claim that it cannot be done? Thanks, --Outdowands (talk) 19:00, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
