Multiple structuresof time, implicit in physics, create a consistency problem. A tilt inthe arrow of time is suggested as the most conservative hypothesiswhich provides approximate consistency within physics and withtopology of mundane time. .Mathematically, the assumed constancy of the velocity of light (neededto measure time) implies functional differential equations of motion,that have both retarded and advanced deviating arguments with thehypothesis of a tilt. The novel features of such equations lead to anontrivial structure of time and quantum-mechanical behaviour. Theentire argument is embedded in a pedagogical exposition whichamplifies, corrects, and questions the conventionally acceptedapproach. The exposition includes historical details and explains, forinstance, why the entropy law is inadequate for time asymmetry, andwhy notions such as time asymmetry (hence causality) may beconceptually inadequate. .The first three parts of the book are especially suited assupplementary reading material for undergraduate and graduate studentsand teachers of physics. The new ideas are addressed to researchers inphysics and philosophy of science | | 出版日期 | Book 1994 | | 关键词 | differential equation; electromagnetic field; mechanics; philosophy of science; quantum mechanics; relati | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-8376-3 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4462-4 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-8376-3Series ISSN 0168-1222 Series E-ISSN 2365-6425 | | issn_series | 0168-1222 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 1994 |
