He took the illusion that time was universal, a concept dating back, essentially, to Galileo and Newton, and shattered it, both within and without the scientific community. ..Thermodynamics teaches us that time has a preferential direction, i.e., forward, and is irreversible, as shown by Prigogine and his theories on dissipative structures and complex systems. Time is not only an “external spectator” to what happens, but assiduously takes part in making it happen. .The concept of thermodynamics shows us how time is linked with environmental issues, as creator and destroyer. The author explores the relationships of cause and effect and how it can help in measuring the various eras of the planet, as wellas understanding the beings that inhabit it. .This book will be a valuable read for students, researchers, and interested laypersons alike.. | | 出版日期 | Book 2022 | | 关键词 | Physics of Time; living planet Gaia; Minkowski geometry; Einstein special relativity; Maxwell theory of | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-94372-1 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-94371-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-94372-1 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
