Episode 1 of Inertia digs into a question that keeps resurfacing once you look at it closely: if relativity bends time, entropy pushes it forward, and quantum theory sometimes ignores it, what are we actually experiencing from one moment to the next? The episode follows this tension through the physics, then into the philosophical fallout, where eternalism, presentism, and McTaggart’s challenge raise doubts about whether the flow of time is anything more than a feeling. Princeton philosopher Joe Schmidt joins to unravel how these ideas collide with everyday assumptions about choice, responsibility, and what it means for a person to persist at all.
