What Feynman Discovered About Time That NO ONE Can Explain

#RichardFeynman #Spacetime #Entropy

This video is inspired by The Feynman Lectures on Physics and presents ideas in the analytical, no-nonsense style Richard Feynman was known for.

Most people believe they understand time because they wear a watch or observe themselves aging. But that experience is not time itself—it’s the brain registering change. In this video, inspired by Feynman’s approach to teaching physics, we challenge the idea that time “flows” and explain why modern physics treats time very differently from human intuition.

Without metaphors or philosophical speculation, this video examines what time actually is, how it is measured, and why our instincts about it are often wrong. From the relativity of simultaneity and the absence of a universal “now,” to entropy and the arrow of time, to GPS satellites that confirm time dilation in real-world technology—this is a mechanical, physics-based explanation of time.

We also explore the block universe interpretation, where past, present, and future coexist, and why physics does not recognize the present moment as a fundamental feature of reality. Feynman’s style strips away the poetry and leaves only what experiments and equations actually show.

If time has always felt obvious or self-evident to you, this video is designed to unsettle that assumption.
