DIFFERENT VIEWS ABOUT TIME

DIFFERENT VIEWS ABOUT TIME

Time is a physical magnitude that affects all reality, but we do not have a specific sense to perceive the intervals. This makes each person get a different idea about the nature of time. There is no consensus on what time is.

1- Heraclitus of Ephesus (philosopher): becoming flows like a river, it is the Being.
2- Parmenides of Elea (philosopher): there are no changes, there is no time.
3- Aristotle of Estagira (philosopher): time exists when movement involves a number.
4- Galileo Galilei (physicist): movement is relative. If A moves with respect to B, B moves with respect to A.
5- Isaac Newton (physicist): time is real and absolute.
6- Immanuel Kant (philosopher): time is an a priori form.
7- Albert Einstein (physicist): time is an illusion and relative.
8- Henri Bergson (philosopher): rejected mathematical time.
9- Martin Heidegger (philosopher): time is the being-there or dasein, time is temporary.
10- Julian Barbour (physicist): time does not exist.
11- Paul Davies (physicist): defends the unidirectionality or arrow of time.
12- José Ignacio Latorre (physicist): time is a parameter that relates two movements.
13- Lee Smolin (physicist): time is real.
14- Bradford Skow (philosopher): past, present and future coexist in the universe.

ADJUSTMENT SCIENCES

ADJUSTMENT SCIENCES

The adjustment is the union of several pieces or elements that fit perfectly together.

..CIENCE ................ PURPOSE
Psychology .......... personal adjustment
Logic ................... reason adjustment
Philochrony ......... adjustment of chromnesia*
Mechanics ........... adjustment of the progress of a car
Watchmaking ...... clocks adjustment

* The chromnesia is the mental clock that allows us:

a) Relate several time intervals.
b) Relate several time uses.
c) Visualize or understand the nature of time.

Computer science is the responsible for the adjustment of programs in a system of computers.

Ethics is responsable for the adjustment of criminals and inmoral people.

Psychology, Logic, Philochrony and Ethics are sciences 
of the human adjustment.

Mechanics, Clockmaking and Computer science are sciences
of the technological adjustment.
