Riassunto

Time beliefs relate to human values in a variety of religions, as this book explains. But today we believe physics has the truth about the nature of time. The book explains how time beliefs were politically manipulated in theology to manipulate human behaviour. And how the arguments of Augustine are completely mirrored in the supposed "science" of Stephen Hawking, and others. Indeed, wrong time beliefs have infiltrated physics from the time of Newton and Einstein. The book also explains how a corrected physics with a tilt in the arrow of time leads to better ethics.

Informazioni sull'autore

Professor C. K. Raju holds a BSc (Hons) in physics, an MSc in mathematics from Mumbai, followed by a PhD from the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. He initially taught and researched in formal mathematics (analysis, functional analysis, Schwartz distributions) and its application to physics, especially general relativity and quantum field theory, for several years. Later he joined C-DAC to play a key role in building the first Indian supercomputer Param. In Time: Towards a Consistent Theory (Kluwer Academic/Springer, Dordrecht, 1994) he pointed out that existing physics must use functional differential equations, with a tilt in the arrow of time. This corrects a mistake made by Einstein and others and nearly explains quantum mechanics. In the Eleven Pictures of Time (Sage, 2003) he proposed a new way to relate science, religion and ethics through time beliefs. In Cultural Foundations of Mathematics (Pearson Longman, 2007) he proposed a new realistic philosophy of math, called zeroism, and compiled evidence for the origin and development of calculus in India and its transmission to Europe, where it was not properly understood. His shorter books include Is Science Western in Origin? (Multiversity 2010), Ending Academic Imperialism (Citizens International, 2011) and Euclid and Jesus (Multiversity, 2012). His books have been highly praised, and his several articles have also drawn high praise from both referees and readers. More details at https: //ckraju.net/cv.
