Understanding Time
Imagier Publishing (Verlag)
978-1-910216-18-7 (ISBN)
The book has two purposes, a negative one and a positive one, which are complementary. The negative one is to challenge the 'hijacking' of time in popular versions of modern mathematical and scientific thought, which have tended to push out of the picture views of time which do not 'fit in' with modern physics. The second purpose is to show how, by supplementing, or sometimes overriding, the scientific perspective, a wider understanding is reached. Time cannot be described in terms of its measurement alone.
Jolyon Trimminham studied Politics, Philosophy and Economics at Oxford University as a mature student, and wrote his undergraduate thesis on Henri Bergson's 'Time and Free Will'. Ten years later he went to Paris to study philosophy at the Sorbonne. Outside of his career as a technical writer, which has taken him all over Europe, Jolyon has found time to restore an open-air Regency swimming pool in Bath, launch a successful bid to save a hill top lake in Yorkshire from being drained, and stood as the Green Party parliamentary candidate for Dover in 2015.
