An analysis of contemporary Cosmology is presented, with the aim of identifying the elements present in it according to the scientific program structure created by I. Lakatos. We look at some modern controversies from this point of view and clarify the meaning of issues related to them within this context.

I recount here my association with Prof. Detlef D\”urr leading to our memorable research collaboration on arrival-time distributions in quantum mechanics. He influenced my life, both personally and professionally, as few others have or ever will. Detlef is my role model for what a brilliant, discerning scientist, academic, and mentor can and should be.
The “arrival-time problem” in quantum mechanics is examined selectively, with an emphasis on the arrival-time distributions of Bohmian particles. In what follows, the “exotic” Bohmian arrival-time distributions of spin-polarized electrons accelerating down a cylindrical waveguide [S. Das and D. D\”urr, Sci. Rep. 9: 2242 (2019)], and some variations thereof are discussed. I shall not go into the mathematical treatment more than is necessary to spell out the key results. The intention is to document the circumstances and motivations underlying the ideas.

We derive multiparty games that, if the winning chance exceeds a certain limit, prove the incompatibility of the parties’ causal relations with any partial order. This, in turn, means that the parties exert a back-action on the causal relations; the causal relations are dynamical. The games turn out to be representable by directed graphs, for instance by an orientation of the M\”obius ladder. We discuss these games as device-independent tests of spacetime’s dynamical nature in general relativity. To do so, we design a relativistic setting where, in the Minkowski spacetime, the winning chance is bound to the limits. In contrast, we find otherwise tame processes with classical control of causal order that win the games deterministically. These suggest a violation of the bounds in gravitational implementations. We obtain these games by uncovering a “pairwise central symmetry” of the correlations in question. This symmetry allows us to recycle the facets of the acyclic subgraph polytope studied by Gr\”otschel, J\”unger, and Reinelt in the mid-80s for combinatorial optimization. In addition, we derive multiparty games in a scenario where the polytope dimension grows only linearly in the number of parties. Here, exceeding the limits not only proves the dynamical nature of the causal relations, but also that the correlations are incompatible with any global causal order.
