The development of theoretical physics can be seen as a continuous
improvement of the models of space and time. In particular, the
beginning of the 21st century brought a new vision into quantum
physics: quantum particles move in space only, time measured with
clocks is merely a numerical order of particles' motion. This so
called "a-temporal" view of physics offers a radically new
understanding of the micro and macro universe. On the basis of the
notion of time as numerical order of material change, in this book
the authors introduce suggestive unitary and holistic perspectives
in the interpretation and explanation of several physical phenomena
of contemporary physics. It is shown that the concept of time as a
mathematical quantity measuring the numerical order of material
changes resolves Zeno problems on motion, hypothetical travel into
past, twin paradox of special relativity and allow new perspectives
to be opened in the interpretation and explanation of
Einstein-Podolski-Rosen experiment and of non-local correlations
between subatomic particles. Moreover, a timeless description of
the gravitational interaction and the idea of a timeless
three-dimensional quantum vacuum as a fundamental bridge between
gravity and quantum behaviour of matter are developed. Finally, in
the second part of the book, after analysing the fundamental
features of some relevant unitary theories of contemporary physics
(such as superstring theory and loop quantum gravity) and making
some considerations about being versus becoming and atomism versus
monism in modelling physical reality at a fundamental level, it is
shown that the replacement of the concept of time with the
numerical order of material change provides a new suggestive
interpretation of the fundamental unitary field theories opening
the doors to a real "timeless theory of everything". The use of a
simple and fluid language makes the book accessible to a wide
reading public.
