McGregor, Kadijah
Paper 1: Metaphysics

What is time? Is time travel possible? When nothing is changing does time still exits ? Is that really true? Are you real? Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that is significant to us when questions and other clams bring curiosity about whether things are real or not. Throughout the day we are constantly checking the time, preparing for the upcoming months, and keeping track of the year. Clocks tell us the time we use as a measurement. It’s how we keep track of those important months and events, such as holidays and birthdays. Although there are many investigations and research being done on the nature of time, many unresolved issues remain.
When considering the issue upon the ontological differences …show more content…

In this essay, the author

  • Analyzes how mctaggart asserts that there are differences in time, but also that time does not exist, which is inconsistent with the fact that each of those differences reject the statement about time.
  • Argues that mctaggart's argument about a series is mistaken about the sense of time and semantic differences in tenses.
  • Analyzes how mctaggart's argument is a stand-alone argument, where he clams that reality can contain characteristics that appear to be known in the experience of the absolute reality.
  • Cites oaklander, n., and smith, q. (eds), the new theory of time, new haven: yale university press.
  • Explains that metaphysics is a branch of philosophy that is significant when questions and other clams bring curiosity about whether things are real or not.
  • Explains that time is change with direction because the universe is derived from earlier states. the variable "n" represents the best theories of major science.
  • Explains that time is reliant on events existing in all the situations that establishes time. mctaggart's ontology states that the nature of time does not match align with existence.

This is inconsistent with the fact that each of those differences reject the statement about time. He admits to this contradiction defending that any attempt to explain why there are difference in time is strictly due to the fact that we need to detail the order in which those events occurred (past, present, or future). The description of the “different times” raises the purpose of the past, present, or future and in turn will lead to a “vicious infinite regress” (Christensen, 1974). The vicious infinite regress is invoked because in order to explain why the alternative appeal to the differences in time, doesn’t go through that effort again, we must first be able to explain why each apply consecutively and then explain why that sequence appeals to the differences in time, which has no end to clarification. In McTaggart’s The Nature of Existence he explains how he no longer goes against the circulatory doubts, which is arguable in itself because he has come begin to treat the differences in tenses as unpretentious and inexpressible concepts, arguing that the tenses don’t need to be explained at all. McTaggart now claims that despite his inability to describe what the time differences mean, we can now apply them without additional scrutiny. This still leads to

    • Temporal Becoming and the A- and B- Theories of Time
      explanatory essay
      One way which we speak, experience and conceive of time is that time is something that flows or passes from the future to the present and from the present to the past. When viewed in this way, events which are present have a special existential status. Whatever may be the case with regard to the reality or unreality of events in the future and the past, events that are in the present exist with a capital 'E'. It can then be postulated that it is the 'present' or 'now' that shifts to even later times. If events in time (or moments of time) are conceived in terms of past, present and future, or by means of the tenses, then they form what McTaggart called the A-series (from which the A-theory of time is derived). This type of change is commonly referred to as 'temporal becoming', and gives rise to well known perplexities concerning both what does the shifting and the type of shift involved, which we will discuss later.

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that the theory of relativity conceives of events as being and sustained relations of earlier and later, but not as 'coming into being'.
      • Explains that the b-theorists sought to satisfy the demand from science to view the world non-perspectivally, and evade the perplexities, mystical elements that arose from the a- theory and temporal becoming.
      • Explains trisel, brooke alan, and the causal attainment theory of temporal passage.
      • Explains that many of saint augustine's concerns about time around 400ad are the same as we have today.

    • Time Travel In H. G. Wells 'The Time Machine'
      argumentative essay
      The universe, all existing matter and space considered as a whole; the cosmos. Credited to be 10 billion light years in diameter, the universe holds the key to life’s greatest enigmas. Popularized by H.G. Wells’ 1895 story The Time Machine, time travel has been a popular concept for science fiction literature, but can traveling through hyperspace actually be feasible method of traveling in the near future. “Einstein’s general theory of relativity allows for the possibility … [to] go off in a rocket and return before you set off,” professed by the world renowned cosmologist Stephen Hawking. Throughout centuries of research many scientist, mathematicians, and physicist alike believe time travel can be possible through things such as cosmic strings

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that the cosmos holds the key to life's greatest enigmas. time travel has been a popular concept for science fiction literature, but can traveling through hyperspace be feasible in the near future.
      • Explains that time travel occurs when the difference between an object's departure and arrival times differs from the duration of the journey undergone by the object.
      • Explains how einstein's theory of relativity shows that traveling into a strong gravitational field could possibly slow time. a rotating black hole could allow possible travel to parallel universes.
      • Explains that cosmic strings are a hypothetical one dimensional defect in the fabric of space time left over from the formation of the universe.
      • Analyzes the difficulties of time travel, such as the grandfather paradox and the possibility that it could be dangerous.
      • Concludes that if traveling through time was feasible, there would be a variety of ways to do it, such as rotating black holes, cosmic strings, and hyperspace.

    • The Quality Query of Time Travel
      explanatory essay
      Since the beginning of time itself, man has been dreaming of time travel. The current model of physics shows no obvious doubts towards the possibility of time travel, which leaves many questions (“Quantum Time Travel”). If the quarrel for time travel holds any truth, how will man manifest the means of going about it? Before the theories set forth by the men and women in the scientific community can be understood, one must have at least a general knowledge of the basics behind quantum mechanics, as well as the estimable; Einstein’s, theory of space-time. Also, in a world where time travel occurs, there is the possibility of a paradox, or impossible situation caused by the travelers’ actions. Many answers to the paradoxes have been set forth by notable people. Possibly the most widely accepted theory of time travel, Einstein’s black hole theory, still holds prevalence to this day. Some other theories have come to light recently, and most are yet to be disproved.

      In this essay, the author

      • Analyzes the paradox of a time traveler killing his grandfather. the "shakespearean paradox" illustrates how shakespeare's works could be mash-up and brought to an elizabethan writer.
      • Explains how the principle of physics can explain paradoxes, such as the "double slit experiment."
      • Explains quantum teleportation and post-selection, and how the grandpa paradox was created.
      • Explains einstein's black hole theory of time travel, which is based on his interpretation of black holes.
      • Explains einstein's theory of "naked black holes," where the gravity of the black hole becomes great enough to not even allow light to escape from it, making it impossible to view singularities.
      • Opines that the future holds a lot for the human race. if time travel is achieved, the biggest issue would be the moral ordeals surrounding it.
      • Describes the mas ultra – school edition, discover 22.9 (2001): 40.
      • Cites moyer, michael, “the physics of time travel.” popular science 260.3 (2002): 52.

    • Clock Arithmetic
      opinion essay
      The topic of time has always been one of interest to me at least on a philosophical basis. Through the works of Einstein, ancient timepieces and calendars such as Stonehenge, and even theories on past and present, time is everywhere. I chose this topic to perhaps explore further the relevance of clocks and timepieces in mathematics and arithmetic. To gain a better understanding of the mathematical features of time would be rewarding knowing that philosophy and mathematics are closely related.

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that time has always been an interest to them on a philosophical basis. they chose this topic to explore further the relevance of clocks and timepieces in mathematics.
      • Explains how clock arithmetic can be taught and applied as early as first grade due to the nature of addition and subtraction involved.
      • Explains how clock arithmetic can be used for subtractive purposes. for example, if we add 5 hours to the time, it would be 8 o'clock.
      • Explains how clock arithmetic is done to prevent wrong answers from showing up when someone isn't aware the clock hours have changed.
      • Recommends using clock arithmetic in the classroom during the early years of grade school to sharpen skills of deduction and perception.
      • Opines that the idea of counting backwards and forwards on cardboard clocks with plastic hands is as important now as it was back when they were in grade school.

    • The Athelete’s Clock
      explanatory essay
      There are other ways we view time that deviate from this concrete, objective construct of time. There is subjective time, in which time is dependent on the individual’s perception of time. It can appear to be moving more slowly or more rapidly depending on the individual’s experience.

      In this essay, the author

      • Introduces the athlete's clock, a sports physiology book that combines multiple scientific disciplines to examine the impact of time on sport’s performance.
      • Explains that time is a mathematical construct, and can be calculated with an accuracy of five parts per ten million according to some clocks.
      • Explains that there are other ways we view time that deviate from this concrete, objective construct of time.
      • Explains the concept of relational theory of time, where people view time as a sequence of events, which also make personal experiences central to time. events do not take place in time; it’s the other way around.
      • Explains that einstein claimed that time was not absolute in his observations of relative time, saying that the passage of time depends on the location and speed of the person looking at the clock.
      • Explains that the arrow of time was the last construct of time introduced in this early discussion. time is typically viewed as unidirectional, always moving forward, but there is no preferred direction of physical processes in respect to time.
      • Explains that physiological time is primarily concerned with involuntary physiological functions like body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. size is the factor that determines the rate of these processes, considering physiological processes take longer to occur for larger animals.
      • Explains that athletes tend to perceive time differently than non-athletes, especially during training periods wherein they follow training schedules that appear to output the best performance during competitions.
      • Explains that in endurance sports such as running, swimming and cycling, the athlete has fewer strategies available to him than in many other sports, and must select the right rate of effort relative to time.
      • Argues that it may be up to the central nervous system which is subconsciously regulating velocity, or muscular work per time, to give the best performance, while taking into account personal safety.
      • Explains that athletes tend to speed up or slow down according to physical sensations, such as breathing and muscle stress, which serve as cues indicating the intensity of their physical output.
      • Explains that exercise scientists have found that external cues such as physical position in a race or changes in split times have little to no effect on an athlete’s performance output.
      • Argues that if athletes are encouraged to decrease their performance through intrinsic clues from the central nervous system, this must be the brain's way of indicating that the body must slow down in order to prevent pushing beyond the boundaries of safety.
      • Explains the central governor hypothesis, which states that limiting cardiorespiratory function determines maximal exercise performance as a result of specific metabolic changes in the exercising skeletal muscle.
      • Opines that rowland is a supporter of this physiological model, though there are many who dismiss it. athletes struggle to believe their performance is determined by an unconscious brain governor, because this line of reasoning doesn't line up with their experience.
      • Opines that a subconscious controller that governs these functions allows for less stressful, more pleasurable exercise experiences since having to consciously consider the implications of my actions would be far too taxing to make the experience enjoyable.
      • Introduces the central patter generator (cpg) in principles of human physiology, which is a network of neurons that generates regular, repeating neural activity called the respiratory rhythm.
      • Explains how the cpg determines the rate and pattern of the muscles' contractions during physical activity, specifically through stride frequency and length.
      • Explains that rowland shows through testimonials from an experienced running coach as well as a couple of laboratory studies that it’s best to alter stride length and maintain one-stride frequency when running.
      • Opines that the cpg is a system or network that controls the rhythmicity and tempo of many functions throughout the body.
      • Explains that it's counterproductive for the athlete to attempt to override built-in biological performance coordinators, but it’s always best to trust what intuitively feels comfortable.
      • Cites rowland, t., peltonen, j. & rusko, h. (2001). evidence that a central governor regulates exercise performance during acute hypoxia and hyperoxia.

    • The Value of Time Travel
      explanatory essay
      There are philosophical views about nature of time in time travel if it is possible. One view is called eternalism which means the beliefs of past, present and future already exist. Eternalism is description of space time as an unchanging four dimensional block. Another philosophical view of nature of time is presentism which means there is a past but the future isn’t set yet. As passes the present becomes as the past and the future as the new present. This means that time is moving forward into the future and leaving the past behind.

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that time travel is the only way to go back in time because of regrets or mistakes they want to fix in the past.
      • Explains that there are philosophical views about nature of time in time travel if it is possible. one view is called eternalism which means the beliefs of past, present and future already exist.
      • Explains that scientists have come to a conclusion that time travel could be possible because of the new modern physics laws.
      • Explains that einstein's theory of general relativity showed that black holes can destroy anything that goes in them and it could be hard to get out of them.
      • Explains that there are also paradox theories about time travel, such as the grandfather paradox. the traveler may not be born or end up in a different universe.

    • The Theory of Relativity
      explanatory essay
      Since the days of Newton, the ideas of classical mechanics prevailed in the scientific community. The ideas of absolute velocity and absolute time were accepted phenomenon and were not at all challenged. However, as the nineteenth century drew to a close, new observations were being made, observations which contradicted the current theory of the time.

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that classical mechanics was accepted in the scientific community, but as the nineteenth century drew to a close, new observations were being made, which contradicted the current theory of the time.
      • Explains that light was a wave, and that the ether was everywhere throughout the universe. many experiments were conducted to determine this velocity.
      • Explains the results of the experiment were inconclusive. the experiment relied on the fact that the speed of light through the ether wind would change according to galilean transformations.
      • Explains that einstein introduced a theory which would account for the unexpected results of the michelson-morley experiment and in fact contradict the ether theory all together. the special theory of relativity would revolutionize the way we thought about space and time.
      • Explains that special relativity begins with two basic assumptions which are fundamental to all the conclusions that can be drawn from it.
      • Explains that there exists an inertial frame in which light signals in vacuum always travel rectilinearly at constant speed c (2.9979245 108 m/s).
      • Explains that this assumption has far reaching consequences which fundamentally change our perception of how the universe works.
      • Explains that under galilean relativity, the speed of the light relative to the ground would be c + 40mph. special relativity attempts to explain the consequences of this phenomenon
      • Explains that the most unintuitive result from relativity is the idea of time dilation. the idea that time was an absolute measure ruled the thoughts of scientists until the early twentieth century.
      • Explains that the light travels at a constant speed, c, so it cannot be speeding up or slowing down.
      • Explains that time dilation allows the light to travel two different distances in the same interval of time, relative to a single reference point.
      • Explains that to calculate how slow time is going for some other inertial frame, we must make the calculation below. to is the "proper time" or the time that the moving body reads.
      • Explains that gamma can never reach zero. as the velocity of the body approaches c, the time dilation grows big.
      • Explains that the perceived distance from point a to b relative to fast-moving objects is less than the distance for stationary objects.
      • Explains that the distance from the spaceship to the planet appears to be less than if both were stationary.
      • Calculates the length of our spaceship by plugging in 100000 for lo and.9c for v. everything else is constant.
      • Explains that while length decreases between two points at high speeds, the mass of an object will increase, which has one significant effect on what the object is capable of doing.
      • Explains that the kinetic energy of an object needs to be reevaluated for high speeds.
      • Explains that when the velocity is small, the equation will reduce down to the traditional equation for kinetic energy.
      • Explains einstein's special theory of relativity predicted that strange things will happen in space and time when objects approach the speed of light, and that matter and energy have more in common than had ever thought before.
      • Explains einstein's equation e=mc2 where m is the mass at rest. this equation says that mass and energy are equivalent to each other.
      • Explains that classical mechanics required the use of galilean transformation equations to transform the results in one inertial frame of reference into another. however, this transformation becomes less accurate as the velocity of the body approaches the speed of light.
      • Explains that lorentz transformation equations for transforming into a moving frame of reference are on the left, and that relativistic effects, length contraction in particular, only affect the object in the direction of motion.
      • Explains the equations in a hypothetical situation where an observer observes an event in the s prime frame. the y and z coordinates would translate directly to the other frame, but the time would need to be transformed.

    • Linear Time Structure of the Western World
      analytical essay
      In the western society, our linear time structure has caused us to habitually separate time into intervals that consistently continue. The pressure these milestones place on people is enormous -- we are demanded to live life a certain way as there is always a time limit, even on the length of time we have in this world. Although these constraints tend to create the worry that life may not have meaning and bring with them the mystery of death, one must learn to emotionally separate oneself from this structure. Time as we have defined it is merely a human invention; aging and curiousness about the future are natural human instincts but when a man-made structure begins to cast a shadow of doubt on life’s meaning one must take a step back a realize that there is more to life than the ticking of a clock.

    • Time
      analytical essay
      Time travel is no longer regarded as strictly science fiction. For years the concept of time travel has been the topic of science fiction novels and movies, and has been pondered by great scientists throughout history. Einstein’s theories of general and special relativity can be used to actually prove that time travel is possible. Government research experiments have yielded experimental data that conclusively illustrate that fast moving aircraft have traveled into the future. This phenomenon is due to the principal of time dilation, which states that bodies moving at high velocities experience a time that ticks slower than the time measured at zero velocity. Not as much time elapses for a moving body as does for everything else. Phenomena known as wormholes and closed time like curves are possible means of time travel into the future and the past. Traveling into the past is a task which is much more difficult than traveling into the future. This feat has not yet been accomplished -to our knowledge- and its theory involves complicated scenarios of tears in four dimensional space-time, and traveling near the speed of light. Obstacles which prevent our hubris attempts to cheat time include our inability to move even close to the speed of light, and finding a source of energy as powerful as an exploding star. Simply because the proposal of time travel is backed by scientific theory, is no reason to expect that it is easily achievable. Numerous arguments are proposed that that prevent time travel into the past. Both common sense and scientific fact can be used to paint scenarios that become serious obstacles. Not to fear, we have all the time in the world to overcome these minor limitations.

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains the concept of time travel is no longer regarded as strictly science fiction. einstein's theories of general and special relativity can be used to prove it is possible.
      • Explains how einstein's theories predict that the faster a spacecraft moves, the slower time ticks inside of it.
      • Explains that it is possible to travel into the future by moving at great speeds, but the next problem is how to move in time a respectable amount without having to sit in fast moving spaceships for years.
      • Explains einstein's special and general theories of relativity combine three-dimensional space with time to form four dimensional time-time.
      • Explains that wormholes are holes in the fabric of four dimensional space-time, that are connected, but originate at different points in space.
      • Argues that quantum mechanics, when used in the context of time travel, has a so-called many-universe interpretation.
      • Explains that time travel is backed by scientific theory, but that's not enough to make it realistically possible. the multiverse concept eliminates the problem of the autonomy principle.
      • Explains the chronology principal, which states that time travelers could bring information to the past that could be used to create new ideas and products.
      • Analyzes bagnall, phil, deutsch, david, lockwood, michael, parsons, paul, and the economist.

    • What Is Time Travel?
      explanatory essay
      Would time travel change the past/would it disrupt the future: Depending on if you see your past self or your future self you could start a paradox let’s say that future you would travel back in time to tell current/past you not to screw up but you screw up so you have to travel back in time to warn your past self to not screw up but the past version of you screws up so he travels back and warns the past to not screw up so you're stuck in a paradox until one of the past figures the solution out.

      In this essay, the author

      • Explains that time travel is a concept of movement between certain points in time. it is possible with general relativity but not physically. time travel paradoxes may prove to be well-founded.
      • Explains that time travel has been brought to life in many movies such as terminator and the back to the future trilogy eraser.
      • Opines that nuclear energy would disrupt matter/relativity, but it would end up causing pollution that would eventually kill everything on earth.
      • Explains that time travel is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events. time travel refers to movement between certain points in time.
      • Explains that the delorean's power source was a plutonium nuclear reactor. teleportation is the idea of transferring matter or energy from one point to another without traveling through the physical space between them.

    • My Concept of Time
      explanatory essay
      Time is defined in the dictionary as “the indefinite continued progress of existence”. Einstein is credited with time being referred to as the fourth dimension when in terms of science. Ever since the first humans lived to now, time has always been an important part to life. We began to classify time and name certain sections of time by the length of how much time it has taken. These different sections are words that we hear almost daily, such as days, months, and years. The words are then used to clearly understand the span of a li...
