Time in quantum mechanics
at the end, where it says:
"Newtonian notion of time essentially carries over to special relativistic systems, hidden in the spacetime structure."
it is referring to the Causal structure of spacetime.

expert-subject template
I've added the expert-subject template. This article has some interesting ideas in it, but some of it is wrong, and a lot of it reads like an attempt by someone without deep expertise to summarize half-understood stuff that they've read.--76.169.116.244 (talk) 03:59, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
many-worlds interpretation
The article currently has this: "The theory that combines general relativity and quantum mechanics, Many worlds interpretation is called Wheeler–DeWitt equation. Wheeler–DeWitt equation says there is no time at all." This is total nonsense in technical terms, as well as being ungrammatical. The MWI has nothing to do with general relativity, nor does it "say there is no time." I'll delete this, but it's just the most egregious example of the poor quality of the article.--76.169.116.244 (talk) 04:02, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
- Yes indeed, the many worlds theory does say that time does not exist in the way that time is ordinarily conceived. Time is not "flowing forward," or flowing at all. You just don't get it. 2600:8801:BE31:D300:870:52B6:866E:5A1A (talk) 01:16, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
- They just don't get it and are stuck in a fixed framework of thought. Intelligence is the ability to go beyond what is currently being repeated, at rote, and discover something new. You can't do that if you are repeating words from a prepared script. 2600:8801:BE1C:1D00:7831:C994:861A:85CC (talk) 18:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
Multiple histories
[1]"The only way to reconcile all the observations, Cotler says, is to conclude that the photon went through multiple histories in parallel."
So the reality may be against the Copenhagen interpretation and concept of consistent histories... Kartasto (talk) 11:42, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
