THEORY OF MULTIPLE TIMES 1

The theory of multiple times considers the existence of four times: irregular time, mathematical time (t in equations), psychological time and relative time. In general, time is the continuous succession of irreversible changes. Time is the continuity of movement. In reality we find events with variable or irregular rhythm, such as the current of a river or the flight of birds. The mathematical time has uniform and periodic rhythm, and is taken as reference to measure the duration of the events. Clocks are an example of mathematical time. The relative time is affected by speed or gravity.

In psychological time each person has a different idea of ​​the duration of the events. Psychological time is influenced by emotions. A person who enjoys a pleasant experience will find that time flies. On the other hand, a person who is going through a difficult situation will find that time slows down.

Some authors conceive time considering only one of the forms of manifestation. For example, for Julian Barbour, time is an illusion, changes do not exist. Henry Bergson rejected mathematical time. For David Eagleman, time is invented by the brain.
