Why the observer is immaterial

This paper examines the ontological nature of the observer in Special Relativity. In the visual field of a stationary observer, light overtakes an external moving material object at an effective separation speed of c − v. However, relative to the observer's own frame of observati...

About Relativity Theories: only a conscious observer can experience events moment by moment in the present moment

Only conscious observers can experience the unfolding of events moment by moment. Establishing a reference zero point requires privileging an actual present moment, something that inanimate matter within the four-dimensional continuum is, in principle, incapable of doing. Because...
