28 March and 4 April,  2019

Retarded Time

Shajesh kindly shares his notes with us.  And here is  a worksheet that illustrates some counter-intuitive features of retarded time, which he also used as a homework problem in his class.

Also, Punit sends a message:

M. Sayeh: time

21 March 2019

Mohammad Sayeh
Time and the hazardous F-word

This will be a non-mathematics seminar on time, freedom, and related issues.  I understand we need to review I. Kant, Bergson, etc. before the meeting.
