ABSTRACT

Are we talking about the same time when pondering about it? The time of physics and the time of being cannot be confounded. They are of two kinds that are incommensurable, that is, “not able to be judged and assessed on the same standard as something.” Time t of physicists and engineering is not the finite time we experience as self-conscious beings. One is eternal and universal and the other is necessarily and self-knowingly ephemeral. They require radically different approaches if we want to seize their essence.
