In certain cases there are no rules for what nature does; it may do one thing or another, both are equally probably. And the decision which nature makes in such a case is completely independent of the decisions which it has made in other cases.
Put in other words: We have to trace probabilities which quantum mechanics has quantitatively supplied back to basic independent probabilities.

Pascal Jordan 1927

Everyone knows that the future is open. There are alternative futures which are all equally capable of becoming the present. There are different paths to different futures. The path to the future resembles a street which continually splits up and branches off; for every possibility there is another branch.

The definition of the future is its potentiality, i.e. its non-factualness and indetermination.


 
Why is the future unknown?


The answer is very simple. Something does not (yet) exist cannot be known - period!

We cannot possess documents from something potential, since documents testify to factualness. There are always immeasurably many alternatives for what the future will look like. We cannot possess any documents from one special one of these alternatives since another alternative could just as easily occur.
 


The following experiment shows that the future is indeed open.

A photon X impacts on a half-silvered mirror. There its path is split up into two possibilities: the path to the future A and the path to the future B. Does the photon have a choice between the two paths or is its path determined by regularities?


The future does not exist yet. The future is open. Only because each individual photon can enter onto both paths (to future A or to future B) does the interference pattern on the screen arise. Until future A or future B occurs, X’s path is not fixed.

One recognises the future’s openness if one places two half-silvered mirrors A and B in X’s path.
This leads to an interference pattern from the superimposition of both rays. Thus both paths (to future A as well as future B) are open until a choice is made between them.

The interference pattern more specifically occurs precisely when the choice between the two paths has not been decided, i.e. when both paths were chosen. The interference pattern comes about because there is a choice between the two paths. It is itself the reflection of precisely this choice, i.e. the superimposition of both possibilities.

Therefore, signore Simplico, bring us your proof or the reasons and proofs of Aristotle, but not quotations and mere authorities; for our studies deal with the world of the senses, not a world of paper.

Galileo Galilei 1632

From the potentiality of the future I conclude directly the actuality of the instantaneous present and its special status:

The instantaneous present is an extraordinary time because in it alone the transition from potential to actual occurs.

The only existing time is on at .

But physicists deny the physical reality of current development.

Why then? Because it has not yet been quantified and recorded in formulas? But that was true of gravity before Newton as well.

Because it can only be measured with our senses and not with our measuring instruments?

But measuring instruments are only an extension of our senses, of data which we gain with our senses.
Evolution has awarded us extremely precise measuring instruments with our senses. Current development is amenable to subjective perception. But its lack of reality does not follow from this. Colours too can be perceived. But their lack of reality does not follow from this. In actual fact, we can distinguish different colours because light possesses different wavelengths.
It is precisely the same with our subjective perception of objective current development. This is not as precise as a measurement, however it provides unambiguous results on the structure of that development.

But we do not measure anything except the present. The present is “omnipresent.” All empiric data are measured in the present. It is empirical matter itself. We cannot base ourselves on something outside of it. As such it is poorly capable of being made objective, i.e. observable from the “outside.” The last thing that a fish notices is the water in which it swims.

Physicists teach the apparentness of development, and they are also believed, although everyone can convince himself of the opposite with his own eyes.

The reason for this is the basically false interpretation of the theory of relativity, namely Minkowski’s four-dimensional space-time from which the factual existence of the future is falsely derived.
