FROM
YOUR ACCOUNT
OF STUECKELBERG's NOTION
OF HISTORICAL SEQUENCE, WHY "I cannot affect the historical past"
(which is presumably why the dramatic-tension premises of BACK TO THE FUTURE
were so unconvincing if you thought about them
hard enough).
Page 48/80:
"IN THE EVOLVING SPACE-TIME,
THE PAST EXISTS ONLY IN MEMORY,
THE FUTURE EXISTS ONLY IN POTENTIAL, AND CHANGE IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE:"
Does the confusion lie in the common tendency to think of going back into the past as going back into the past as going back "in history," whereas you are saying that even if you could move in either direction along the temporal dimension of a fixed universe, "historical" time only moves forward? I (JOBO) think so. Yes,
this does seem to be what you are saying here.
About a week ago my son Jonah reported me that, as he was drifting off to sleep, he thought of writing his "memoirs" -
the account of an entire life - now, based on memory
up until the present and constructed
"fictionally" from this present on.
