| Popis: | The relationship between inner and outer time is discussed. Inner time is intrinsically future directed and possesses the quality of a distinguished "now". Both of these qualities get lost in the operationalized external physical time, which, advancing towards more fundamental physics, tends to become more similar to space and even fade away as a fundamental notion. However, inner time as a constitutive feature of human existence holds its place in the heart of quantum theory and thermodynamics. Comment: 23 pages, 2 figures, based on a talk, given at the symposium "The forgotten present", organised by the Parmenides Foundation for the Study of Thinking, Munich, May 2010, References updated, some misprints corrected |
