@cjd Thanks for the explanation. I don't know enough to continue this directly but speaking in more general terms there are always underlying assumptions maybe in several tiers and models leave out variables or put a constant in place of a string of variables that's constant enough.

In terms of observation this can also be flawed. We have a model which predicts things and so we try to find them.

I don't know how well that translates to physics.

@cjd Your explanation of time from 100 years ago seems circular but I'm not sure I can phrase it better. It's fundamental under either model.

The interesting thing about physics is the predictive value. Einstein predicted things that were later observed. So is his model closer to /reality/ than previous models? Maybe the universe updates it's rendering method based on perception of how it works.

That guy is not a great presenter but he makes the most of his abilities.
