[Serious] Is the Past Real?

[bennyboy]

Physicists don’t seem to agree the many world interpretation is extravagant.   In fact many seem to regard it as elegantly parsimonious in terms of new unknown underlying principles that must be assumed

If time travel is possible, and nothing in physics says it ain’t, then it seems to me all future event must have already happened in another past reference frame.

This is what happens when PhD = village elder, not just someone who's studied science for a long time. People make up untestable bullshit, and say, "Harrruummmmph. . . in my considerably erudite opinion, 50 million fairies could dance on the tip of a pin" and dum dums say, "Well. . . a PHYSICIST said it, so it must be a valid scientific idea."

If only people were honest enough to accpet "I don't know, and we probably never can know" as a valid position on physical reality.
