One of the most important questions concerning the foundations of physics, especially since the discovery of relativity and quantum theory, is the nature and role of time. In this book we bring together researchers from different areas of physics, mathematics, computer science and philosophy to discuss the role time plays in physics. There have been few books on this topic to date, and two of the key aims of the workshop and this book are to encourage more researchers to explore this area, and to pique students? interest in the different roles time plays in physics.
Interdisciplinary view on time from physicists, mathematicians, philosophers and computer scientists
Around ten authors give their view and possible paths toward solutions to some of the fundamental problems connected to time in physics
