Re: [Phys-l] time references



In a slightly different vein, but related is the book "Einstein's
Clocks, Poincare's Maps: Empires of Time"

| Subject: [Phys-l] time references
|
| I've lost the earlier thread about the nature of time, but
| would like to contribute some references which may be of some help:
|
|
|
| "The Philosophical Impact of Contemporary Physics" - Milic
| Capek (Been on my shelf since undergraduate days; didn't
| understand much of it then because I didn't understand much
| of the physics he references. I've just re-read it while on
| sabbatical, and it makes much more sense to
| me!)
|
|
|
| Several books by Australian physicist Paul Davies - the first
| two are popular or student level, the last is aimed at physicists:
|
|
|
| "About Time"
|
| "Space and Time in the Modern Universe"
|
| "The physics of time asymmetry"
|
