Thoughts on origins

[Angrboda]

I'm a fan of the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, so I'm not sure that concepts like time and beginning have any real correlates.  I think it's likely our intuitive notions of time and causality will unravel the more that we learn about reality, leaving us with a picture of a more or less static model of universes without beginnings or endings.

I am too a fan of the MWI because I think.it is the most frugal and philosophically consistent interpretation of QM. Can you briefly sketch how you draw your conclusions for the nature of time from it?

I'm not a physicist so these are just impressions. To mix metaphors, I would suggest that the Heisenberg cut is more virtual than real, that there is no collapse of the wave function, real or apparent. This seems to parallel the B theory of time, with the entire history of the universe being just one large static function; if the collapse of the wave function isn't real, then that would seem to imply that any 'history' isn't real either.

That's the best I can do to describe my thoughts. It's probably a train wreck in terms of real physics.
