From Geoff Searle
Torquay, Devon
Reading Gott’s article was, for me, a revelation. The insidious
anthropomorphism that pervades us all was for once temporarily expunged from my
mind. I was shamed to realise that I had unwittingly committed the same error as
Copernicus’s contemporaries and arrogantly regarded “my time” as “the time”, as
if no other time mattered. The link Gott has established between past, present
and future excites me, though I do not believe this was fully developed in the
article.
My mind rushed with the anecdotal link to relativistic and quantum causality
and whether the empirical application of statistics to the time line described
by Gott can be used analytically in those fields.
