Part 2: Time is in the instant. The instant is not in time. More on the quantum theory of time and how the "spacetime" view of time, and the flow of time are false. How time relates to the "block universe" model and how the multiverse fixes the paradoxes at the heart of our common sense (and classical physics) ideas about time - more readings from "The Fabric of Reality" chapter 11 and in addition:
A couple of acrostics about David Deutsch in terms of "Popper".
David's changing view of free will.
Readings on "free will" from "A Science of Can and Can't" by Chiara Marletto.
A summary of a paper by Marletto and Vedral on the "Page and Wooters" construction.
Brief remarks on Marietto's "Constructor Theory of Thermodynamics"
Kuyper's thesis "Developments in Unitary Quantum Theory"
The paradoxes involved in trying to picture time using diagrams.
Machian Dynamics (Ernst Mach's idea about absolute space and time being false and instead how the universe has dynamics of its own).
The Schrödinger vs Heisenberg Pictures
