Time and Science Volume 3 Physical Sciences and Cosmology

The present volume of Time and Science series is devoted to Physical Sciences and Cosmology. Today more than ever, the question ‘is Time an ontological property, a necessary ingredient for the physical description of the world, or a purely epistemological element, relative to our situation in the world?’ worry physicists and cosmologists alike. For many of them, Relativity (and particularly General Relativity), as well as its reconciliation with quantum mechanics in the elaboration of a quantum theory of gravitation, points to a negative answer to the first alternative, and leads them to deny the objective reality of time. For others, the answer is nuanced by the evidence of an emerging temporal property when one climbs the scales of the complexity of systems and/or the applicability of the statistical laws of thermodynamics. But for some, the illusion of the unreality of time comes from certain confusions that they denounce, and plead for the re-establishment of time at the heart of physical theories.

Prominent scientists and philosophers of science address contemporary debates on the nature of Time. Their contributions freely discuss its unity and reality, its compatibility with the orders of classical philosophy (present, past and future) and with the disputed idea of free will (Volume 1). They also present a detailed and updated state of the role of Time in the so-called exact biology – or more precisely genetics, evolution, neurosciences, natural and artificial intelligence (Volume 2) , and physics – relativity, quantum mechanics and quantum gravity, and cosmology (Volume 3).

Time and Science Volume 1 The Metaphysics of Time and Its Evolution


Free Download Time and Science : The Metaphysics of Time and Its Evolution (Volume 1) (347 Pages)
by Rémy Lestienne & Paul A Harris

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1800613725 | 348 pages | True PDF | 11.23 MB
In this volume, 12 eminent scientists and philosophers engage in fundamental, perennial questions about Does time exist? Is ‘time’ a single or multiple entity? Is it possible to reconcile contradictory notions of time, such as subjective and objective, metaphysics and physics, McTaggart’s A series and B series, or presentism and eternalism? Does the Special Theory of Relativity dictate a static, deterministic account of reality (‘block universe’) or does it allow for ‘free will’? How did the concept of geologic time originate and what are the limits of its knowledge? How is the Anthropocene defined? Each author examines these questions from the point of view of their own specialties, but without ignoring the metaphysical importance of the issue, nor the possibility that scientific advances might enforce revisions of our brain intuitive judgments.

by Andrew Caplin

English | 2023 | ISBN:9811262381 | 407 pages | True PDF | 9.48 MB
That mistakes are made is clear. What is meant by that is not. Measuring whatever might be meant and scientifically studying it is therefore even more challenging. These lectures introduce an interdisciplinary science of mistakes to cut the Gordian knot. The key building blocks are model constructs drawn from the economic tradition, methods of measurement drawn from the psychometric tradition, and analytic methods drawn from economic theory.

The New Science of Learning How to Learn in Harmony With Your Brain, 3rd edition


Free Download The New Science of Learning
by Todd D. Zakrajsek;

English | 2023 | ISBN: 1642675016 | 290 pages | True PDF EPUB | 32.09 MB
While preserving the elements that have made the previous two editions so successful-such as chapters on sleep, exercise, memory and mindset-this third edition introduces students to wholly new aspects of brain function and how they impact learning; and furthermore, addresses the challenges of learning online. By introducing new concepts, strategies, and applications related to learning and memory that are based on current findings in cognitive, social, and motivational psychology, this text offers a richer and more complete picture of how brain science illuminates how we learn. Students assigned this book will be equipped to design effective learning plans, employ new strategies, recognize learning traps, discover ways to work effectively in groups, improve recall, and realize better academic performance through test-taking and paper-writing strategies. This new edition also addresses the concerns of all students-particularly those unfamiliar with the college setting and its expectations and assumptions-and offers strategies for success. In keeping with the preceding editions, this book introduces students to concepts, techniques, strategies, tips, and ideas to help them be academically stronger students, advance faster in their studies, and demonstrate what they have learned more effectively-in short, how anyone can learn to be a better learner by learning how to learn in harmony with their brain. The book remains compact and student-friendly, offers examples of practice, and includes discussion questions at the end of each chapter.
