Studies on the structure of time: from physics to psycho(patho)logy

 By R. Buccheri, V. Di Gesù, Metod Saniga

Studies on the structure of time:

from physics to psycho(patho)logy (Google eBook)
Front Cover
Every human being is aware of the flow of time. This fact is embodied in the existence of such notions as the past and the future, the two domains being separated from each other by the single moment of the present. While the past is regarded as fixed and definite, the future is viewed as unknown, uncertain, and undetermined. The only perceivable moment is the present, the 'now' - the ever-changing point moving from the past into the future. 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. This book discusses the biological and psychological aspects of perception of time, and the problems related to the determination of location arising from quantum physics, together with comments and opinions from philosophers and physicists.

Page 130 - ... applying classical assumptions in a situation where they do not by any reasonable criteria make sense. Quantum effects in the very early stages of the life of the cosmos were quite large and the most modern of all cosmological theories — a big bang model with inflation — speculates that the universe first came into existence as a result of a quantum transition [3]. During the so-called Planck era close to origins or the singularity, which begins at times earlier that 10" sec quantum effects...
