Right. A computational universe is inherently non-local. And when one realizes ST dimensionality emerges from the interaction of particles in the cons...
The universe is a computational system that continually recomputes its current data state from its previous data state. Minds sample the universal dat...
Another intractable problem with determinism is it implies a block time/block universe theory in which everything is predetermined in advance of it ha...
There is no 'faster than light' signal between particles. In the spin orientation example the spin orientations of both particles are determined when ...
Consider a volume of free particles that interact. Their particle properties such as energy, momentum, spin orientation, etc. are INdeterminate with r...
Determinism is of course incompatible with quantum theory where quantum events occur randomly. In my view that in itself is enough to consign determin...
Universe is a computational system. Everything contains the complete data of what it is. Elementary particles contain the complete data of what they a...
The very notion of 'causation' needs to be replaced with that of computation. At its most fundamental level reality is not 'physical' but information ...
Mike, No offense but I strongly suggest you read my solutions to the same problem first. It may save you considerable time and effort. Best, Edgar L. ...

Mike, I tried to sign up to http://www.sciforums.com/forums/physics-math.33/ but was rejected with the message that my attempt "resembled spam or auto...
Mike, If you want to include the effect of the transit time of light there is a very easy way. First ignore it completely and just use my method to ca...
Yes, the apparent contradiction that each other's clocks are running slower is just a very simple matter of perspective. Here's an easy explanation fr...
Mike, Rather than doing the example you suggest here's one I've already done using the standard method I outlined. This example starts in Earth twin f...
The underlying solution to the apparent contradictions you mention is the notion of two kinds of time. Processor time which proceeds at the same rate ...
Mike, Also I don't understand all your agonizing over the twins. It's really quite simple. Ignore the signal transit time. That's an entirely separate...
Mike, There need be no signal received to calculate the apparent age of a relatively moving clock. It's a simple calculation in a Minkowski diagram d?...
no Axioms, First thanks for looking at my site and commenting on it. I'm not quite sure where you are coming from but will try to tease out our differ...
Mike, Normally (in most but not all methods) the signal transit time is ignored when the proper time of a moving clock is computed. And, sure both per...
Mike, Good point. It's what he computes or would see disregarding the time lag of light traveling between them. It's her apparent age in his reference...
Mike and Relativist, Yes but of course this is only how the space twin VIEWS the aging of his earth twin. That doesn't affect the actual aging rate of...
No Axioms, I'm not an absolutist or presentist. Labeling thought generally misrepresents it. My theories are my own perhaps a new interpretation but c...
noAxioms, No, proper time is the current reading of a comoving clock, a clock moving with an observer. ELAPSED proper time is the proper term for a du...
Madfool, The 'instantaneous aging by a large amount isn't anything actual'. First, it only occurs when a physically impossible instantaneous decelerat...
Well it's the scientific answer to whether or not everything exists at the same time or not. Yes everything does exist at the same time. Now is the on...
Hi Mike, Sure, it's SPECIAL relativity. That sentence should read "In general, relatively (NOT GENERAL RELATIVITY) moving... Note I wrote relatively, ...
First there it's easy to demonstrate there is a universal current present moment in which everything exists. 1. It's well known that everything in the...
