Quantum Mechanics emphasizes states, allows simultaneity of states etc. French philosopher Bergson did not live up to it but he may like it-he criticized physics from failing to count separate existance of states.
Bergson posted that his contemporary physics trates states that were in succession in simultaneous existance i. E trajectories which present events "all at once juxtaposed in space"
Bergson acknowledges that his concept of time, called duration, reveals "the perceptual creation of possibility and not only of reality" (Canales, 2015,).
Bergsonian Time is a duration that helps the individual to grasp the reality and the way it is encountered (Marchesini)
Arguments pro
**It is possible that qm endorses such a conception implicitly because the motion state is more sophidticated and developped and thus less probably to fall pray to his criticism.
** Some effects or features of qm, such as probability treatnent, novel predictions also might simply that the duration conception is at work, i. E time not just creates reality but probability.
The short answer is No, because Bergson was discussing classical physics.
simultaneity is a requirement so it is more in line Bergson than Einstein
It is impossible to give an unequivocal answer "on the fly". But working on your proposal can be fruitful.
Yes ......... Quantum time in QM is linear , Bergsonian , non-influenced by Riemannian topology
When you arrive at QFT : They start to "relativize" things ,,,,,,,,,
Dear Philippos Afxentiou ,
about the Relativity of simultaneity I wrote the following:
Preprint Einstein train-embankment thought experiment revisited
Einstein’s train thought experiment is revisited. Although its original description is not under discussion, it does not necessarily imply relativity of simultaneity, as affirmed.
A non-trivial extension to the original arrangement is necessary, to show where the discriminating point stays between the absolute and relative simultaneity.
That point relies on the application, to the train and the embankment, of the equivalence of inertial frames. Such property is demonstrated inapplicable, to the problem examined, due also to severe clashes with established results of experimental Physics
relativity in simultaneity is gross contradiction in terms .............
