What Makes Time Special?
ISBN: 9780198797302 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As we navigate through life we instinctively model time as having a flowing present that divides a fixed past from open future. This model develops in childhood and is deeply saturated within our language, thought and behavior, affecting our conceptions of the universe, freedom and the self. Yet as central as it is to our lives, physics seems to have no room for this flowing present. What Makes Time Special? demonstrates this claim in detail and then turns to two novel positive tasks. First, by looking at the world -sideways- - in the spatial directions -- it shows that physics is...

Introducing Time: A Graphic Guide
ISBN: 9781848311206 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Introducing Time traces the history of time from Augustine's suggestion that there is no time, to the flowing time of Newton, the conventional time of Poincare, the static time of Einstein, and then back, full circle, to the idea that there is no time in quantum gravity. "Introducing Time traces the history of time from Augustine's suggestion that there is no time, to the flowing time of Newton, the convention... |

The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Time
ISBN: 9780199298204 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 600 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As the study of time has flourished in the physical and human sciences, the philosophy of time has come into its own as a lively and diverse area of academic research. Philosophers investigate not just the metaphysics of time, and our experience and representation of time, but the role of time in ethics and action, and philosophical issues in the sciences of time, especially with regard to quantum mechanics and relativity theory. This Handbook presents twenty-three specially written essays by leading figures in their fields: it is the first comprehensive collaborative study of the philosophy...

Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scale: Contemporary Theories in Quantum Gravity
ISBN: 9780521662802 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The greatest challenge in fundamental physics attempts to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity in a theory of "quantum gravity." The project suggests a profound revision of the notions of space, time and matter. It has become a key topic of debate and collaboration between physicists and philosophers. This volume collects classic and original contributions from leading experts in both fields for a provocative discussion of the issues. It contains accessible introductions to the main and less-well-known known approaches to quantum gravity. It includes exciting topics such as the...

Time, Reality and Experience
ISBN: 9780521529679 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Based on the latest research in philosophy and physics, this collection of original essays by eminent philosophers proposes novel answers to complex questions. Why does time seem to flow in one direction? Can we influence the past? Is only the present real? Does relativity conflict with our common understanding of time? Could science do away with time? These questions and others about time are among the most puzzling problems in philosophy and science.
