My father was interested in something called noise. Noise might be described as superfluous information. If I am trying to hear a song, and there is a baby crying, a jackhammer outside, and the television is on, the true signal will be mixed with a lot of static.
Since 1957, when physicist Hugh Everett proposed his Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, we have been aware of the possibility of Many Worlds. I am interested in whether the existence of Many Worlds might influence our ability to see time accurately.
Perhaps, when we look backward in time, we see less than what was. And when we look forward in time, we see more than what will be.
As an analogy, let’s say we (“the present”) are the 2D plane. When we look backward in time, we see the point. But, in truth, the past was not a point. Like us, the past was a 2D plane. The point is just what we see when we look backward in time. Our vision narrows; we see too little information.
We (“the present”) are the 2D plane. When we look forward in time, we see the sphere. But, in truth, the future will not be a sphere. Like us, the future will be a 2D plane. When we look forward in time, we see too much information.
Looking backward in time, we see too few worlds. If “1” is light, looking backward we see less than one. Looking forward in time, we see too many.
Below the disc, we see less than what was. Above the disc, we see more than what will be. At the disc, we see with greatest accuracy.
