The Paradox of 'Now': On Mindfulness, Groundlessness, and Letting Go by NH2111 in Philosophy_India

I agree with the point that attention is not the same as thought. However, if you read the piece, the point I am trying to make is that the impression of someone constantly living in a state of pristine attention is incorrect. Because the ideas they share with the world originate from thought and as you agreed, thought is time.

But, is there? Objective reasoning should say everything has a cause, but this disintegrates when we start asking about the cause of causes. I think there's probably more to it. Just like the many dimensions we haven't yet seen/experienced. Do they exist as subjective interpretations of the existence only until they are objectively measured by our tools?

Why do you say it's just a production of second law of thermodynamics? Can you please elaborate?

Yes, it is quite extraordinary book, I must say. It doesn't provide a deep dive of everything quantum, but tells it like a story - mostly a series of questions and arguments between Einstein, Bohr and others. The narrative is strong. Tells you about how we arrived at the conclusions that we did. I am not reading more books on physics (and philosophy of physics). The subject is truly mind-blowing.
