David Z. Albert says the unidirectionality of time is attributed to a Past Hypothesis and that's that.

I hold to a growing block model of time.
Essentially, the past and present exist while the future does not.
This includes an objective-collapse model of quantum mechanics with a "flash" ontology. Flashes in the past where the wavefunction became localized are real but inactive.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

You have dogs? I spent the day making a cat house.
Do you live in Nevada?

Pftt, everyone knows time is like a river.
