Philosophy of Science, 2021 Programs in quantum gravity often claim that time emerges from fundamentally timeless physics. In the semiclassical time program, time arises only after approximations are taken. Here we ask what justifies taking these approximations and show that time seems to sneak in when answering this question.

One Time, Two Times, or No Time? [PDF]
, 2021 Contemporary research programs in fundamental physics appear to suggest that there could be two (physical) times---or none at all. This essay articulates these possibilities in the context of quantum gravity, and in particular of cosmological models developed in an approach called `loop quantum gravity', and explains how they could nevertheless ...

The Philosophical Quarterly, 2021 Abstract A number of philosophers uphold a metaphysical symmetry between time and hypertime, in this sense: in so far as hypertime exists, the nature of hypertime should agree with the nature of time. Others allow that we can mix and match the metaphysics of time and hypertime.

Time perception: Brain time or event time? [PDF]
Current Biology, 2001 Recent experiments show that synchronous events can appear to an observer to occur at different times. Neural processing time delays are offered as an explanation of these temporal illusions, but equating perceived time with processing time leads to some thorny philosophical problems.

A time for atlases and atlases for time [PDF]
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2010 Advances in neuroanatomy and computational power are leading to the construction of new digital brain atlases. Atlases are rising as indispensable tools for comparing anatomical data as well as being stimulators of new hypotheses and experimental designs. Brain atlases describe nervous systems which are inherently plastic and variable. Thus, the levels

Time for Timed Monitorability [PDF]
Monitoring is an important part of the verification toolbox, in particular in situations where exhaustive verification using, e.g., model-checking is infeasible. The goal of online monitoring is to determine the satisfaction or violation of a specification during runtime, i.e., based on finite execution prefixes.

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis, 2022 Abstract We give an overview of the concept of random time changes in evolution processes. First of all, we discuss random times in Markov processes. Secondly, we propose to use the concept of random times for dynamical systems. In both cases did appear fractional evolution equations.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada
Population Ecology, EarlyView.We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...
