An Experience

Saint Augustine wrote in his “Confessions”: “What is time? If no one asks me, I know. If I want to explain it to anyone who asks me, I don’t know   anymore." Enlightening statement.

Time exists. How else would we fix our watches? Time organizes our universe both mentally and physic...

Whenever Amelia tells the events of her journey to get to the Cathedral of Amalfi on time she adds something not said, not remembered, not felt then, but recognized or found today. Is such a thing possible?

But, then, does memory deceive us, deceive us or even recreate what never happened?...

Our conscious experience takes longer to assemble the sequence of actions. The perception of the moment, of now, can therefore be said to have already passed.

Therefore, we live in the past. The distance between the things that happen and their perception is about 80 milliseconds. Science ...

Land animals, unlike those of water, manage to possess a very broad visual trend in order to have enough time to choose from a range of actions and decide for the best.

Consciousness would not be possible without the ability to imagine another time. But how many humans know they have a con...

As we get older we find that time passes much faster than before. And the writer knows it well. If I ask Amelia, what she remembers of that day, I discover that her memories are not mine, her time is different from mine, as is her past in this shared present that yesterday was the future.

W...

Scientists have not yet been able to give an answer to why entropy was low at that time and how this increase affects memory and its randomness.

Fifty years later, after our Big Bang, I would not be able to assess whether the entropy of our coexistence has been elevated or reduced, whether...

The future in this image at the exit of the Church, after the ceremony, does not yet exist because it has not yet taken place. But physics teaches us that every moment, in the form of an event in both the past and the future, implies a present moment. A difficult fact to admit in our everyday lif...

Our memory is not always reliable. When we remember an event that happened in the past, our brain uses a technique very similar to imagining the future. The process is not like playing a video, but rather like staging a text.

If the text is wrong for any reason, you may have a distorted me...

There is a simple scale of values ​​in this sense and it concerns the body’s metabolism.

To make fifty years of married life it takes two billion beats to challenge time and space together towards the spiritual metabolism.

 Aging can be reversed. We all age and this is part of the race towards ever-increasing disorder. But it is only the universe as the whole that must increase in entropy, not just each of its components.

If we reverse the arrow of time in a living organism, we make a technological challenge...

Personally, I would like to have the opportunity to start all over again. I don’t know what Amelia would do if she could reverse the arrow of time and go back to that day fifty years ago.

To tell the truth, I can’t say either. A return to the past? Perhaps the future is better than daring ...

The clutter increases as time passes. The difference between the past and the future, memory, aging, randomness and free will, rests on the fact that the universe is constantly evolving from order to disorder.

Entropy is constantly increasing in the opinion of physicists. There are many wa...

The word “time” is undoubtedly one of the most used and mysterious words in all languages. Yet its use does not explain its meaning. The word is referred to in countless contexts.

The many possible synonyms make me lose myself in a forest of meanings that take me far away, but I will never...

What are the memories of men? How many can they be? Where are they? Who can tell them? What can they tell? Why is it worth talking about? How can they be found out? Should they be preserved? Where are they hiding? Memories are also called remembrance, they can be stored not only on the paper page...

 If I think about that day, I relive something and see someone still in the present, but I know well that absence dominates. All I have left is the image of a place that is still present, I miss that time that appears to be lost and I delude myself to find it again, remembering.

The past an...

Each of us perceives the sense of time in a different way. This is true in both a biological and a physical sense. For Newton, time was universal and common to all. Then Einstein came and explained that instead time for a person is closely related to his moving in space and to the force of gravit...
