How does information being lost take away from determinism? And by the way, I don't think it has been declared that indeterminism is true and determinism is false.

The way you are portraying it to be, is that we'd be a gigantic irrecognizable *unchangeable* blob in 4D, because not only do we move our body parts, we also move from place to place.... think about all the corners you've been to all over your house (and not only you, other family members)... and then all the places elsewhere you've traveled. We would also pass through matter as video game characters limbs sometimes go into walls... think about how it would look when you walk into your car, close the door and drive some 50 miles, then you get out of the car... the car would also have a 4d as well... what this would look like is us going through the car blob, and then coming out of it... My answer to this is that time is not recorded by nature. But I would agree on your statement, is that it agrees with determinism... which in my opinion I think is how this universe is... deterministic.

Viruses can't reproduce... they are more like a trait or a characteristic a cell infected by it acquires. Although, viruses could be a key to evolution.

Yes... everything is traveling at the 'speed of light'. If the spaceship were traveling c/2... then the other half of c would be used to move through time.

Uhh... what would be your definition of free will? Because QM, indeterminism or randomness, in my opinion would not be any much better in proving freewill than determinism does.

Hi, I think what Farsight meant was that since light is the limit of what anything can travel, and because of the phenomena that light has which is that regarless of the speed something is traveling at, light will always approach it at the speed of light. So, because of this, time varies in different places. If you have a person measuring time with a clock in a spaceship moving 1/4th of the speed of light... and you have another person with a similar clock measuring time on earth, the person on earth will measure time faster than the person traveling 1/4th of the speed of light. And if they both start to cook 15 minute rice, the person on Earth will finish much faster. And this is assuming that there are no defects on the clocks or microwave. Now since we have these two scenerios, which are measuring time with similar clocks, yet both are inconsitent with each other. The differnece in measurement of time here would be related to the difference in their motion and to that of the speed of light.
