time being purely a consequence of entanglement. It states that the only reason that an object appears to change over time is because it is entangled with a clock.

Wtf. Which clock is this?

One of those cat clocks with the eyes that go back and forth.

Yeah. I read that multiple times and still have no idea what he’s talking about but it’s the most important part of the article

They mean something that can be used to mark change, they mean clock in the purely physics sense… but don’t worry, you’re probably not dumb, these articles are so horrible at communicating theoretical physics ideas it might as well be abstract, new-age greeting cards.

I also figured that they meant entangled with some system that can mark change, but change is only possible with a concept of time. So I still don’t follow.

“Probably not dumb” love the honest appraisal of unknown variables. I’m like the science fan in big hero 6. Not smart enough to do science but smart enough to enjoy it.

This clock concept is still so abstract I don’t know what the “clock” could possibly be or look like

Perhaps it is just a very dry physics joke

I wonder if he’s talking about a some kind of “clock circuit?”

The clock I keep on my bedside table. It’s always watching you.

Summary: time is entangled with a clock and appears static from the outside. Why, the article doesnt explain.
