I am not that conceited, as indeed some truly are! I only attempt to put it down in words that all can understand! Do I hear it then when others cannot? Not in the least! I only attempt to express in words what is indeed written down as indelible diamond-hard-solid universal fact; that for more than three centuries has not been sensed that indeed is there and determines all that is physical, and decides the state of all that is truly spiritual, not what is said to be such! To tell the Truth that concerns me, back in 1964, when I needed to know some partial truth, both from inside and outside me I was indeed asked whether I needed to know and would be satisfied with knowing just that particular, that partial truth—or rather the whole Truth. I perspired and trembled! Sensing that that question was not mine, I replied: "All the Truth that I can stand, Lord!" And ever since I ask and seek the answers that can stand the rest of time to eternity! It has not been a pleasant life, that is to say, by the accepted social standards. You ask in innocence and in agony, but the questions make others uncomfortable! What do you do? What would you do? I did not press others beyond where I sensed they could not stand it, given the particular personal bond. But as for myself, that bond was unbreakable! So, I never stopped asking questions and I found answers that others did not know existed, because they had not put themselves to the task. But it has been a satisfying life spent in listening to the Voice! The Voice has been calling, and it has never stopped calling, indeed, thunderously in the Wilderness! But now, we must understand that Wilderness is not just the no man's land. Nobody is that insane to be telling sensible things thunderously in that sort of Wilderness! The truest Wilderness also is where men cease to behave as people and consciously choose to behave as wild animals throwing themselves at each other's throats, while pretending to believe even to the point of persuading themselves that they continue to act humanely—whether they sit around a table uttering nonsensical flatteries, unbearable commonalities, or pointlessly talking simultaneously to each other while listening only to themselves, or even conspiring on how to present somebody as the enemy that is supposedly after them whom they must eliminate before he eliminates them! If you doubt the truth of this statement, you only need to take a close look at what the newspapers print and indeed the television offers as the latest most up to date stuff: "All the 'news' that the readers must be persuaded that alone is fit to print"! And raw immorality; mute, except for the spectacle, self-selling nakedness packaged expressly in order to sell; the grossest ever imagined mayhem, destruc- tion, hot running blood; at which we no longer hesitate, in order to save ex- penses (our true "god") to involve even Hollywood-produced humanoids; thus most deliberately blurring the distinction of man and machine, aiming to instruct and make him believe that he too is no better than an expendable machine pro- _________________________________________________________________ ✛ ✛ ✛ ✛ 10 VOICE THUNDERING IN THE WILDERNESS duced by chance, uncertainty and "evolution" for no purpose at all other than what the "bosses" set up for him, for which "service" they determine they deserve high remunerations and Nobel prizes! [I cannot resist the temptation to comment here on the most sorrowful act perpetrated for long years already by young people here in Greece—where these lines are being put down on June 1, 2011: Under the sociopathic socialistic polit- ical system self-imposed upon the NeoGreeks, elementary and high school stu- dents upon graduation each year "celebrate" the event by burning their school- books of the year just passed! Books given to them for free in the beginning of each school year. Not idiotically but for most determined mute purpose, the state took no measure against that barbarity! The students refuse to realize that by that their own act are cut off from what they just "learned" and are thus burning the bridges behind them, so that as with the passage of time they cannot but tend to forget what was in the books, they cannot return back to it to refresh their mem- ory and compare it to, and incorporate it in their minds along with, the new material as they advance through the school years. So far, the State did not mind! The teachers' professional organizations did not act! Under the present economic constraints, the government just only asks that the books be kept in good order and passed on to the following class, in order solely for the state to save some little money spent on reprinting the same books for the next school year.

  • Relativistic Mechanics in Multiple Time Dimensions Milen V
    PHYSICS ESSAYS 25, 3 (2012) Relativistic mechanics in multiple time dimensions Milen V. Veleva) Ivailo Street, No. 68A, 8000 Burgas, Bulgaria (Received 19 March 2012; accepted 28 June 2012; published online 21 September 2012) Abstract: This article discusses the motion of particles in multiple time dimensions and in multiple space dimensions. Transformations are presented for the transfer from one inertial frame of reference to another inertial frame of reference for the case of multidimensional time. The implications are indicated of the existence of a large number of time dimensions on physical laws like the Lorentz covariance, CPT symmetry, the principle of invariance of the speed of light, the law of addition of velocities, the energy-momentum conservation law, etc. The Doppler effect is obtained for the case of multidimensional time. Relations are derived between energy, mass, and momentum of a particle and the number of time dimensions in which the particle is moving. The energy-momentum conservation law is formulated for the case of multidimensional time. It is proven that if certain conditions are met, then particles moving in multidimensional time are as stable as particles moving in one-dimensional time. This result differs from the view generally accepted until now [J. Dorling, Am. J. Phys. 38, 539 (1970)]. It is proven that luxons may have nonzero rest mass, but only provided that they move in multidimensional time. The causal structure of space-time is examined. It is shown that in multidimensional time, under certain circumstances, a particle can move in the causal region faster than the speed of light in vacuum.

  • Can We Rule out the Possibility of the Existence of an Additional Time Axis
    Brian D. Koberlein Thomas J. Murray Time 2 ABSTRACT CAN WE RULE OUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT THERE IS MORE THAN ONE DIRECTION IN TIME? by Lynn Stephens The literature was examined to see if a proposal for the existence of additional time-like axes could be falsified. Some naïve large-time models are visualized and examined from the standpoint of simplicity and adequacy. Although the conclusion here is that the existence of additional time-like dimensions has not been ruled out, the idea is probably not falsifiable, as was first assumed. The possibility of multiple times has been dropped from active consideration by theorists less because of negative evidence than because it can lead to cumbersome models that introduce causality problems without providing any advantages over other models. Even though modern philosophers have made intriguing suggestions concerning the causality issue, usability and usefulness issues remain. Symmetry considerations from special relativity and from the conservation laws are used to identify restrictions on large-time models. In view of recent experimental findings, further research into Cramer’s transactional model is indicated. This document contains embedded graphic (.png and .jpg) and Apple Quick Time (.mov) files.

    Is Time Travel Too Strange to Be Possible? Determinism and Indeterminism on Closed Timelike Curves Ruward A. Mulder and Dennis Dieks History and Philosophy of Science, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands Abstract Notoriously, the Einstein equations of general relativity have solutions in which closed timelike curves (CTCs) occur. On these curves time loops back onto itself, which has exotic consequences: for example, traveling back into one's own past becomes possible. However, in order to make time travel stories consistent constraints have to be satisfied, which prevents seemingly ordinary and plausible processes from occurring. This, and several other \unphysical" features, have motivated many authors to exclude solutions with CTCs from consideration, e.g. by conjecturing a chronology protection law. In this contribution we shall investigate the nature of one particular class of exotic consequences of CTCs, namely those involving unexpected cases of indeterminism or determinism. Indeterminism arises even against the backdrop of the usual deterministic physical theories when CTCs do not cross spacelike hypersurfaces outside of a limited CTC-region|such hypersurfaces fail to be Cauchy surfaces. We shall compare this CTC- indeterminism with four other types of indeterminism that have been discussed in the philosophy of physics literature: quantum indeterminism, the indeterminism of the hole argument, non-uniqueness of solutions of differential equations (as in Norton's dome) and lack of predictability due to insufficient data. By contrast, a certain kind of determinism appears to arise when an indeterministic theory is applied on a CTC: things cannot be different from what they already were. Again we shall make comparisons, this time with other cases of determination in physics.

The article is part of a project that has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska- Curie grant agreement No 665958 to conduct research at the University of Erfurt, as MWK (Max- Weber-Kolleg) Fellow.

Abstract: Youth transitions literature has traditionally devoted great attention to identifying and analysing events that are considered crucial to young people regarding their (short term) orientation to the future and wider narratives of the self. Such categories as ‘turning points’ (Abbott 2001, Crow and Lyon 2011), ‘critical moments’ (Thomson et al. 2002, Holland & Thomson 2009, Thomson & Holland 2015, also used by Tomanović 2012) and ‘crossroads’ (Bagnoli & Ketokivi 2009) have been used to identify and explain the events around which young people take important decisions in order to realise the so-called transition to adulthood, each suggesting a sense of rupture.

    Algebra of distributions of quantum-field densities and space-time properties Leonid Lutsev∗ Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 194021, St. Petersburg, Russia (Dated: July 16, 2021) In this paper we consider properties of the space-time manifold M caused by the proposition that, according to the scheme theory, the manifold M is locally isomorphic to the spectrum of ∼ the algebra A, M = Spec(A), where A is the commutative algebra of distributions of quantum- field densities. In order to determine the algebra A, it is necessary to define multiplication on densities and to eliminate those densities, which cannot be multiplied. This leads to essential restrictions imposed on densities and on space-time properties. It is found that the only possible case, when the commutative algebra A exists, is the case, when the quantum fields are in the space- time manifold M with the structure group SO(3, 1) (Lorentz group). The algebra A consists of distributions of densities with singularities in the closed future light cone subset. On account of the ∼ local isomorphism M = Spec(A), the quantum fields exist only in the space-time manifold with the one-dimensional arrow of time. In the fermion sector the restrictions caused by the possibility to define the multiplication on the densities of spinor fields can explain the chirality violation. It is found that for bosons in the Higgs sector the charge conjugation symmetry violation on the densities of states can be observed. This symmetry violation can explain the matter-antimatter imbalance. PACS numbers: 03.65.Db, 05.30.-d, 11.10.Wx I.

  • On A- and B-Theoretic Elements of Branching Spacetimes∗
    On A- and B-Theoretic Elements of Branching Spacetimes∗ Matt Farry November 30, 2011 Abstract This paper assesses branching spacetime theories in light of metaphysical consid- erations concerning time. I present the A, B, and C series in terms of the temporal structure they impose on sets of events, and raise problems for two elements of ex- tant branching spacetime theories|McCall's `branch attrition', and the `no backward branching' feature of Belnap's `branching space-time'|in terms of their respective A- and B-theoretic nature. I argue that McCall's presentation of branch attrition can only be coherently formulated on a model with at least two temporal dimensions, and that this results in severing the link between branch attrition and the flow of time. I argue that `no backward branching' prohibits Belnap's theory from capturing the modal content of indeterministic physical theories, and results in it ascribing to the world a time-asymmetric modal structure that lacks physical justification. 1 Introduction The idea of modeling time as branching features in Arthur Prior's work on tense logic,1 in which he uses it to provide a suitable semantics for the future tense. Prior's work was itself an attempt to tackle metaphysical issues concerning time, particularly concerning the passage of time, and the `open future'. Since Prior, branching time has been developed into an axiomatic theory.2 More recently, branching time semantics have been constructed for relativistic spacetimes in the work of Storrs McCall (1976; 1994) and Nuel Belnap(1992) and have been applied to various contemporary problems in physics, such as the EPR paradox.

  • Explaining Temporal Qualia
    European Journal for Philosophy of Science (2020) 10: 8 https://doi.org/10.1007/s13194-019-0264-6 PAPER IN GENERAL PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Explaining temporal qualia Matt Farr1 Received: 4 March 2019 / Accepted: 26 September 2019 /Published online: 9 January 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Experiences of motion and change are widely taken to have a ‘flow-like’ quality. Call this ‘temporal qualia’. Temporal qualia are commonly thought to be central to the question of whether time objectively passes: (1) passage realists take tempo- ral passage to be necessary in order for us to have the temporal qualia we do; (2) passage antirealists typically concede that time appears to pass, as though our tem- poral qualia falsely represent time as passing. I reject both claims and make the case that passage-talk plays no useful explanatory role with respect to temporal qualia, but rather obfuscates what the philosophical problem of temporal qualia is. I offer a ‘reductionist’ account of temporal qualia that makes no reference to the concept of passage and argue that it is well motivated by empirical studies in motion perception. Keywords Time · Temporal passage · Temporal experience · Motion perception · Cognitive illusions 1 Introduction There is a supposed ‘flow-like’ element of our experience of things like motion and change that is commonly understood as an appearance or representation of time pass- ing. To point to some token examples from the literature: Norton (2010 p. 24) holds that ‘the passage of time is one of our most powerful experiences’; Davies (1996, p. 275) takes the ‘sensation of a flowing time’ to be ‘basic to my experience of the world’; and Le Poidevin (2007, p.

    Multiple Time Dimensions∗ Steven Weinsteiny University of Waterloo Dept. of Philosophy 200 University Ave W, Waterloo, ON N2L 3G1, Canada Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics 31 Caroline St N, Waterloo, ON N2L 2Y5, Canada Abstract The possibility of physics in multiple time dimensions is investigated. Drawing on recent work by Walter Craig and myself [3], I show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, there is a well-posed initial value problem|deterministic, stable evolution|for theories in multiple time dimensions. Though similar in many ways to ordinary, single-time theories, multi-time theories have some rather intriguing properties which suggest new directions for the understanding of fundamental physics. 1 Introduction The theoretical framework of physics has evolved enormously since the time of Newton, but one notable invariant, so pervasive as to be effectively invisible, is the one-dimensionality of time. While time and space have been amalgamated into a composite known as spacetime in the wake of relativity theory, and while modern superstring theories follow the Kaluza-Klein theory in postulating more than three space dimensions, time itself has remained one-dimensional. Indeed, very little work has been devoted to the study of multiple time dimensions.1 Yet one might like to know more about physics with multiple times for at least two reasons: • It's not at all clear we can be confident that our world has a single time dimension unless we know what a world with multiple times looks like. Kant thought such a world was inconceivable. But Kant also thought that space must be three-dimensional and Euclidean [8].
