A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of attending FQXi’s Setting Time Aright conference, part of which took place on a cruise from Bergen, Norway to Copenhagen, Denmark. (Why aren’t theoretical computer science conferences ever held on cruises? If nothing else, it certainly cuts down on attendees sneaking away from the conference venue.) This conference brought together physicists, cosmologists, philosophers, biologists, psychologists, and (for some strange reason) one quantum complexity blogger to pontificate about the existence, directionality, and nature of time.
