More about the book
Exploring the evolution of simultaneity, this work traces its historical significance from ancient Egypt and biblical references to its philosophical implications in the thoughts of Pre-Socratic and Aristotelian scholars, as well as its role in Newtonian physics. The author delves into the contributions of Leibniz and Kant, and examines simultaneity's relevance in the theories of relativity and quantum mechanics. Additionally, it addresses contemporary debates surrounding the conventionality thesis of distant simultaneity, making it a vital resource for understanding this complex concept.
