Direction of Time [electronic resource] / edited by Sergio Albeverio, Philippe Blanchard. - XXXII, 294 p. 24 illus. online resource.
Models of time -- On Abuse of Time-metaphors -- The Direction of Time, The Role of Reversibility/Irreversibility in the Study of Nature -- The Arrow of Time and Information Theory -- ASYMMETRIES, IRREVERSIBILITY, AND DYNAMICS OF TIME1 -- IS TIME REAL? -- Is time directed? -- On the different aspects of time in the fundamental theories of physics -- Quantum Events and Irreversibility -- Time in modern philosophy of physics
This edited book presents the problems of time and direction from an interdisciplinary point of view, concentrating in particular on the following relations: • Time and physics • Time, philosophy and psychology • Time, mathematics and information theory It is a unique contribution by philosophers and scientists who are active in mathematics, physics, biology, engineering, information theory and psychology. Questions such as the existence of a Big Bang, the neurobiological basis regarding the coexistence of free will and determinism, intercultural aspects of time, mathematical models of time, psychopathological features of time, and micro reversibility versus macroscopic irreversibility are studied. It also provides a truly interdisciplinary study of the problematic 'arrow of time'.
