Dear Eric Aspling,
thank you very much for this perfect essay. I agree, one side has to break, perhaps both. Can we calculate which side has to break or if only one or both.
To make long stories short i offer a picture:
When we use mathematics like 1/0 and 0/1 we introduce "allowed" and "not allowed". But basicly we cannot know if 1/0 is infinity or Zero.
Having said that a line of information like 100111001100011110000000100011111001..
and we give a rule for neighbours like operate multiplication a*b to the rigth will give us a random generator.(time-concept only in one direction working)
Doing the same operation on a line of information like 11(-1)(-1)1111(-1)1(-1)(-1)(-1)1111 we can go forward and backward in time.
That said, we can predict that not on of both camps (1 and 0) but both camp "0" (general Relativity) and camp 1 (Quantum-Theory) will have to break entirely.
Time already told, as if we can travel back in time with (1) and (-1)
Best regards, Manfred U.E.Pohl
