Time and Reality of Worldtubes
In this essay, dedicated to the one hundredth anniversary of Hermann Minkowski’s talk “Space and Time”, I argue that physicists should face the issue of the reality of spacetime and worldtubes of physical objects for two reasons. First, this issue is not a philosophical question, as some appear to think, since the kinematical special relativistic effects would be impossible, as will be demonstr...
متن کاملReality of Time
The meaning of instantaneous action at a distance is elucidated. It is shown that the absence of a medium to transmit action (usually referred to as AAD in the literature) and instantaneous action are not identical. Since the term “instantaneous” is incompatible with relativity and field theory, a critique is presented on the concept of time in relativity. It is argued that relativity does not ...
متن کاملTime Travel and the Reality of Spontaneity∗
Contrary to the informed consensus, time travel implies spontaneity (as distinct from chance) so that time travel can only be of the second kind. ∗A preliminary version of this paper was presented at a Seminar on ‘Reality in Physics and Philosophy,’ S. N. Bose National Centre for the Basic Sciences, Calcutta, 24-25 Feb 1996. †Present address: Centre for Computer Science, MCRP University, 222 M....
متن کاملPerceptual Time, Perceptual Reality, and General Intelligence
Perceptual time is a critical aspect of how humans (and probably animals too) perceive the world. It underlies general intelligence, particularly where that general intelligence is about interacting with the world on an everyday basis. We discuss what is meant by the perceptual instant, and how this may be important for (artificial and real) general intelligence. Lastly, we briefly discuss how ...
متن کاملReal-time Panoramic Mosaics and Augmented Reality
This paper investigates estimating exact imaging transformations accurately, reliably and efficiently. It is shown that in certain common computer vision situations the transformation required can be defined by a small number of parameters. Search is only required over these parameters, and consequently the search algorithms to estimate the transformation can be run at frame rate, without sacri...
