The Philosophy of Superdeterminism Supported by Light Speed
The philosophy of superdeterminism is based on a single scientific fact about the universe, namely that cause and effect in physics are not real. The philosophy of superdeterminism is supported by the constancy of the speed of light. The constancy of the speed of light, as a fundamental postulate of special relativity, imposes a strict limit on the universe's speed, which in turn prevents backward time travel for anything with mass. Allowing Faster Than Light (“FTL”) travel would permit scenarios where effects could precede their causes, leading to logical paradoxes where a future event could theoretically prevent its own existence by traveling back into the past. The concept of protecting past events from alteration, enforced by the constancy of the speed of light, inherently suggests that these past events are immutable, but also need protection. But only past events that actually exist in reality would need protection. Therefore, the constancy of the speed of light implies that past events still exist in reality. And if past events still exist in reality, then those past events have no need of a causal relationship. Past events that already exist, but which do not need to be caused to exist, describe a superdeterministic static block universe without cause and effect in physics.
