Relativity Science & Technology
Paperback. Bradford Skow presents an original defense of the 'block universe' theory of time, often said to be a theory according to which time does not pass. He provides in-depth discussions of alternative theories, reconciles objective becoming with relativistic physics, and re-evaluates our 'experience' of the passage of time in relation to the argument. Num Pages: 272 pages. BIC Classification: HPJ; PDA; PHR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 158 x 237 x 23. Weight in Grams: 408.
