Contents 1. The Universe and the Time2. On the external observer Quotation: „Some of my colleagues suggest that time is part of an approximate description of the universe- a description that is useful on large scales but dissolves when we look too closely. Temperature is like this: Macroscopic bodies have temperatures, but single particles don't, because the temperature of a body is the average of the energies of the atoms that make it up.”1 This idea is interesting, but I dispute it.

Thoughts from the Information Again „If we tie a lot of cherry-peppers on a string, they’ll make a pepper-wreath. However, if we don’t tie them on a string, they won’t make a wreath.

In fact, I have swung to the opposite view: Not only is time real, but nothing we know or experience gets closer to the heart of nature than the reality of time.”(Lee Smolin) Content 1.
