Dassonville1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2017.1 online resource (XVII, 176 p. 46 illus., 3 illus. in color.) 3-319-46039-0 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters.Introduction -- The Main Issues.- The Failure of Dialectics -- Reality, Concepts, and Models.- Origins of Time and Space.- Definitions and Nature of Time.- Definitions and Nature of Space.- Mathematical Properties of Time and Space.- Historical Overview of Time and Space.- First Consequences of Non-Existence -- Conclusion.- Specific Glossary.This investigation of time and space is motivated by gaps in our current understanding: by the lack of definitions, by our failure to appreciate the nature of these entities, by our inability to pin down their properties. The author's approach is based on two key ideas: The first idea is to seek the geo-historical origins of time and space concepts. A thorough investigation of a diversified archaeological corpus, allows him to draft coherent definitions; it furthermore gives clues as to whether time and space were discovered or invented. The second idea is to define the units before trying to define space and time. The results presented here are unexpected: Time and space were not discovered in nature, but they were invented; time is not a phenomenon and space has no materiality; they are only concepts. This runs contrary to the opinion of most scientific and the philosophical authorities, although one would seek in vain for a theoretical validation of the conventional position. This book will provide much food for thought for philosophers and scientists, as well as interested general readers.PhysicsPhilosophy and scienceAnthropologyOntologyHistory, AncientHistory and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Philosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000Ontologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E22000Ancient Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/712000Physics.Philosophy and science.Anthropology.Ontology.History, Ancient.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Philosophy of Science.Anthropology.Ontology.Ancient History.530.01Dassonville Patrice Fauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut825046BOOK9910254592503321The Invention of Time and Space1984717UNINA01085nam2 2200313 i 450 REA004194920251003044333.08820727390IT98-10264 20020712d1997 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01nˆ1: ‰Nozioni di baseAntonio PasiniNapoliLiguori1997179 p.24 cm.001REA00419482001 Elementi di algebra e geometriaAntonio Pasini1GeometriaFIRCFIC005394EAlgebraFIRCFIC003520E512ALGEBRA23ITIT-00000020020712IT-BN0095 IT-NA0079 NAP BNMAGAZZINO magazzini correnti divisi per anniREA0041949Biblioteca Centralizzata di Ateneo 01M/S (AR) 26 509 01AR 0700265095 VMA A4 1 v.Y 2024022820240228 01 BNNozioni di base3911377UNISANNIO
