La Realidad Del Tiempo Y La Telara A De Einstein

El mayor misterio de todos, el enigma del Tiempo, brilló como un cuásar cegador sobre los ojos del creador de la Teoría de la Relatividad, Albert Einstein. De hecho, no ha habido ningún pensador significativo, desde la antigüedad hasta el día de hoy, que no haya enfrentado el misterio del Tiempo y lo haya hecho parte esencial de su propia filosofía. Incluso en los días de Plotino el problema del Tiempo fue considerado como "antiguo" y "continuamente revivido". Pensar en el Tiempo es como arar el océano. A pesar de esto, el siglo XX vio una nueva y sin precedentes definición operacional establecida por Einstein, quien despojó a la noción de Tiempo de todo contenido metafísico, y la hizo ontológicamente eliminable. El veredicto en nuestros días es: "El Tiempo no existe". Sin embargo, no han faltado pensadores que han intentado nadar contra la corriente, para arrojar el guante al "Asesino del Tiempo", al Demoledor del Absoluto, mostrando que el Tiempo no es una ilusión, el Tiempo es real. Estos conmovedores momentos de la historia del esfuerzo intelectual se recogen aquí, reviviendo la cara filosófica de cada disidente. El tema es interesante no sólo para los expertos en la materia, sino también para toda mente inquieta sedienta de verdades históricas. El lector que esté fascinado por las ideas fundamentales de la física y la filosofía encontrará aquí una gran satisfacción. Además, encontrará aquí las últimas raíces de nuestra Weltanschaaung contemporánea.

The greatest mystery of all, the enigma of Time, shone like a blinding quasar upon the eyes of the creator of the Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein. Indeed there has been no significant thinker, from antiquity down to the present day, who has not confronted the mystery of Time and made it an essential part of his own philosophy. Even in Plotinus’ days the problem of Time was considered to be “ancient” and “continually revived”. Thinking about Time is much like ploughing the ocean. Despite this, the Twentieth Century saw an unprecedented and new operational definition set forth by Einstein, who stripped the notion of Time of all metaphysical content, and made it ontologically eliminable. The verdict in our days is, "Time does not exist." Yet there have not been wanting thinkers who have attempted to swim against the current, to throw down the gauntlet to “the Murderer of Time”, to the Demolisher of the Absolute, showing that the Time is not an illusion, Time is real. These stirring moments in the history of intellectual endeavour are collected here, revivifying the philosophical face of every dissident. The subject is interesting not only to experts in the field, but also to every inquiring mind thirsting for historical truth. The reader who is fascinated by the fundamental ideas of physics and philosophy will find great satisfaction here. In addition he will find here the ultimate roots of our contemporary Weltanschaaung.

Querido lector:El libro que tienes en tus manos es el relato de mi vida y de los descubrimientos que tuve oportunidad de realizar. Como verás, desde muy niño sentí la necesidad de saber. Esa curiosidad infantil por conocer las cosas del mundo y la realidad que había más allá de lo que podía alcanzar nuestra mirada. Verás también, como acaso lo veas tú si te sientes atraído por la ciencia o el arte en cualquiera de sus manifestaciones, que todo forma parte del Universo y de que todo está relacionado. Si escuchas una canción o lees un poema que te emociona, esa emoción no es distinta que la que produce una fórmula matemática. Espero, querido lector, que disfrutes con la lectura y que te sirva, como a mí me sirvieron muchos de los libros que leí siendo niño. Disponible en catalán, para comprarlo haz clic aquí.

The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.

From the bestselling author of the acclaimed Chaos and Genius comes a thoughtful and provocative exploration of the big ideas of the modern era: Information, communication, and information theory. Acclaimed science writer James Gleick presents an eye-opening vision of how our relationship to information has transformed the very nature of human consciousness. A fascinating intellectual journey through the history of communication and information, from the language of Africa’s talking drums to the invention of written alphabets; from the electronic transmission of code to the origins of information theory, into the new information age and the current deluge of news, tweets, images, and blogs. Along the way, Gleick profiles key innovators, including Charles Babbage, Ada Lovelace, Samuel Morse, and Claude Shannon, and reveals how our understanding of information is transforming not only how we look at the world, but how we live.

Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.
