Rovelli, Klein, and Time
This reflection, initially published on this website, is now included in Annex 4 of my new book, Conceptual Foundations of a Theory of the Universe. The full text has therefore been removed from this page.
This annex examines the possibility of formulating Aristotle’s definition of time in a non-circular way, based on the relationship between several motions. In particular, it compares the analyses of Carlo Rovelli and Étienne Klein and considers their implications for our understanding of the nature of time.
