Wick rotation connects statistical mechanics to quantum mechanics by replacing inverse temperature $1/(k_{B}T)$ with imaginary time $it/ℏ$
But I was under the impression position and time were both parameters on equal footing in QFT? If this is so, why does the Wick rotation in position space correspond to something else*?
*I am uncertain what it corresponds to but I'm sure it's not statistical mechanics?
I'm quite confused on the source of this seemingly asymmetry (if it is real as well)? Where is my understanding failing me?
