Causality, free choice and the arrow of time

A new theory is put forth saying we can remember the past, but not the future (I haven't formed an opinion yet):

Tosspot physics at its worst. We can't remember the future because it hasn't fucking happened yet. What a pack of wankers.

Do you presume to speak on behalf of this website's administration so I can ignore your stupid remark and you can't tell me what to do.

I presume nothing. I'm just fed up of having to wade through your shit to get to an ever diminishing list of threads that are actually on "Philosophy".

And I'm tired of wading through your shit. Why not put me on your ignore list?

Because shit sticks and I can still be caught out by your threads that clog up the lists.

So do you even know what the arrow of time is?

Of course. Don't you?

In fact the spacetime paradigm of physics is unable to explain the arrow of time because time is represented in the Minkowski continuum as a Cartesian dimension. Cartesian dimensions are bi-directional which means that most of the so-called "laws of physics" are time invariant. Interestingly this is not true of all of them which is another huge mystery for this confused paradigm. As they stand at present these so-called "laws of physics" deny the arrow of time and thus deny that effects must be preceded by a cause. In fact they make no metaphysical distinction between past, present and future at all and model the universe as a single timeless block. According to this paradigm we should be able to remember the future so any philosopher worthy of the name is obliged to reject it out of hand.
