书目名称 | Studies on the structure of time | 副标题 | From Physics to Psyc | 编辑 | Rosolino Buccheri,Vito Gesù,Metod Saniga | 视频video | | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | Every human being is aware of the flow of time. This fact isembodied in the existence of such notions as the past and the future,the two domains being separated from each other by the single momentof the present. While the past is regarded as fixed and definite, thefuture is viewed as unknown, uncertain, and undetermined. The onlyperceivable moment is the present, the `now‘ - theever-changing point moving from the past into the future. .Physics tells us a different story: not only are the vast majority ofphysical laws time-reversible, but the concept of the `now‘ itself hasno place at all in physics. In other words, the equations of physicsdo not distinguish between the past and the future and seem to becompletely oblivious to the very idea of the present. .This book discusses the biological and psychological aspects ofperception of time, and the problems related to the determination oflocation arising from quantum physics, together with comments andopinions from philosophers and physicists. | 出版日期 | Book 2000 | 关键词 | algebraic geometry; attention; chaos; cosmology; geometry; invariance; perception; quantum physics | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-4285-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-6922-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-4285-8 | copyright | Springer Basel AG 2000 |
