Maybe a big part of the problem is due to the assumptions built into our classical world view.

Is every event determined, or does the process of determination only occur as the present, as the passage of time, is an effect of change, not some narrative dimension?

Can there be some omniscient point of view, or is that an oxymoron, as subjectivity is a prerequisite of persepective? We think of reality as order and chaos, but excess signal reverts to noise. There is no god, remember?

Can we know both the exact location and momentum of a moving car? One is static, while the other is dynamic.

Western thought tends to be object oriented, from atoms to individuals, while Eastern thought tends to be contextual. Even the concept of time is reversed, as we see ourselves as distinct entities moving through our context, so the future is in front and the past behind, while the Eastern view is the past is in front and the future behind, because the past and what is in front are known, while the future and what is behind are unknown. Given that we see events after they occur, then this energy changes to other forms and observers, it might seem counterintuitive to our Western thinking, but it is logical.

There really isn't any actual dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it, aka, causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

It seems physics has become so wrapped up in its mathematical cocoon, actual physics goes out the window.

Epicycles, as a model of our geocentric view of the cosmos, were very effective and quite brilliant geometry, but the crystalline spheres were lousy physics.

We really are repeating the same mistake.
