Temporal Mechanics: Can We Ever Solve the Long-Standing Problem of Time?
by Alex M. Vikoulov 
“Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present.” ―Bill Keane
The enigmatic nature of time has perplexed philosophers and physicists alike for centuries, presenting what is known as the "problem of time." This fundamental issue challenges our intuitions about time's true nature and its role in the fabric of reality. The problem of time arises from the apparent conflict between the static, unchanging equations of general relativity and the dynamic, evolving nature of quantum mechanics. Enter the D-Theory of Time, a revolutionary framework that seeks to reconcile these disparities by positing that time is an emergent phenomenon, arising from the computational processes that underlie our reality. By viewing time through the lens of digital presentism and qualia computing, the D-Theory of Time offers a novel perspective on the flow of temporal experience, suggesting that what we perceive as time is the result of conscious computation, transforming quantum potentialities into the digital actuality of the present instant.
In developing a comprehensive framework for understanding temporal mechanics, it is crucial to delineate the methodologies and foundational axioms underpinning the D-Theory of Time. As I write my next book and corresponding paper on temporal mechanics, this article is adopted from those future publications. This article introduces the five foundational axioms of D-Theory, elaborates on the preference for Quantum Bayesianism (Qbism) as a quantum mechanics (QM) interpretation, situates Digital Physics within this conceptual framework, and explores whether this innovative approach can finally solve the long-standing problem of time. ...
