Описание: This book contains a broad overview of time travel in science fiction, along with a detailed examination of the philosophical implications of time travel. The emphasis of this book is now on the philosophical and on science fiction, rather than on physics, as in the author's earlier books on the subject. In that spirit there are, for example, no Tech Notes filled with algebra, integrals, and differential equations, as there are in the first and second editions of TIME MACHINES. Writing about time travel is, today, a respectable business. It hasn’t always been so. After all, time travel, prima facie, appears to violate a fundamental law of nature; every effect has a cause, with the cause occurring before the effect. Time travel to the past, however, seems to allow, indeed to demand, backwards causation, with an effect (the time traveler emerging into the past as he exits from his time machine) occurring before its cause (the time traveler pushing the start button on his machine’s control panel to start his trip backward through time). Time Machine Tales includes new discussions of the advances by physicists and philosophers that have appeared since the publication of TIME MACHINES in 1999, examples of which are the chapters on time travel paradoxes. Those chapters have been brought up-to-date with the latest philosophical thinking on the paradoxes.

Описание: According to platonists, entities such as numbers, sets, propositions and properties are abstract objects. But abstract objects lack causal powers and a location in space and time, so how could we ever come to know of the existence of such impotent and remote objects?

Описание: Combining conceptual, formal, and engineering approaches in an unusual way, the core of this book is the relation between ways of learning and knowing, and different modes of time. Partial Boolean logic and the associated notion of complementarity express this relation, and mathematical tools of fundamental physics are used to formalize it.

Описание: This book links the philosophical perception of time and Einstein`s theory of special relativity to economic processes, showing that the phenomena of time dilation and length contraction seen in physics can be identified within - and adapted to - an economic framework.

Описание: Over the last few centuries, science has usurped domains of knowledge that were once the province of religion. At the same time, however, both science and religion have enforced strict boundaries throughout. Science can describe the world to us, but it cannot tell us about meaning or values. This title presents a case for breaching this barrier.

Описание: This is the first comprehensive examination of Leibniz`s thought on time and space. The book fills a gap in existing scholarship by examining his views on the topological structure of space and time, including the unity and unboundedness of space and time.

Описание: Some of the brightest minds currently working in the field of cosmology discuss the two most important questions about time: What is it? and, If time can be seen as a kind of `arrow`, then why do the cosmic and thermodynamic `arrows` of time agree?

Описание: Physics tells us a different story: not only are the vast majority of physical laws time-reversible, but the concept of the `now` itself has no place at all in physics. In other words, the equations of physics do not distinguish between the past and the future and seem to be completely oblivious to the very idea of the present.
