The Clock That Never Touches Time — What Physics and Buddhism Both Found at the Edge of Reality
from Luminary Flow · host Kolbrún | Luminary Flow
A Geiger counter clicks because something real is passing through it. A clock, on the other hand, doesn't detect anything at all — it just compares one motion to another and calls the count "time." So what have we actually been measuring? In this episode, we trace what clocks really do, why Newton and Leibniz disagreed about whether time exists at all, what the block universe says about the future, and where physics and Buddhist philosophy arrive at the exact same unsettling conclusion — from completely opposite directions.
