    About this ebook

    What is time? Scientists know how to measure time, but they have no idea what it actually is. This books explains the deep mystery of time. It clarifies all of the enigmas concerning the tensed and tenseless theories of time, and addresses McTaggart's famous claim that time is "unreal".

    Hegel's classification of "good" and "bad" infinity is analyzed, and a new mathematics of infinity is introduced, based on the concept of the "finite infinite" as opposed to the "infinite infinite".

    The correct answer is given to Zeno's notoriously problematic paradox of the race between Achilles and the tortoise.

    The "Hotel Infinity" model of the Big Bang is analyzed and shown to be far superior to conventional Big Bang theory.

    The "Sensorium" and "Cognitorium" are discussed, and multiple accounts of consciousness, including dream consciousness and Jungian archetypes.

    The issue of "private language" is analyzed, and used as a proof for the non-existence of the Abrahamic God.

      A Hologram Shows How Space Could Pop Into Existence

      Sep 5, 2019

      I remember buying my first hologram as a college student in the mid-1980s. It showed a bed of nails. I came across it at a gallery in what was then the world’s capital of spacey trinkets, Haight Street in San Francisco. When I picked it up, the holog

      Actually, There Is a Time Like the Present

      Nov 30, 2017

      We’ve all heard it before: There’s no time like the present. Broadly speaking, of course, it means to “seize the opportunity right now,” or maybe in my case, to avoid procrastinating. From a psychological perspective, this makes a lot of sense. As hu

      One of the oldest debates in the scientific literature is whether ‘time’ is something that can be ‘perceived’ at all. Most psychologists and neuroscientists have come around to thinking that it isn’t. Our five senses – taste, touch, smell, sight, and
