On behalf of Orlando Leibovitz, We are planning an event titled Notions Of Time. A brief description is below. The proposed date(s) for the event are Friday December 3rd and Saturday December 4th, but the dates may be changed to sometime in early 2011.
Part of the event involves speakers presenting ten minute talks on various concepts of time. We have two speakers who wish to discuss time in physics. Stephen Guerin will be speaking about time in Complexity science. We are still seeking speakers for the following topics: Time in Philosophy Geologic Time Biological time Time concepts in fiction and poetry Clocks, calendars and pendulums Psychological perceptions of time Time, infinity and mathematics Time in Buddhism Jung, time and synchronicity Time, stress and western culture Time in non western culture Time in Native American culture Time capsules Language and perception of time If you know of a potential speaker, please contact me. Ideas for other topics relative to time are most welcome, especially if you are suggesting a speaker for the topic. The presentations will be aimed at a general audience. We want more art/videos related to time concepts. Recommendations are welcome. Please send links or have the artist contact me. We would like to project poems and sayings about time on the walls and floors of The Complex. Please send me any suggestions. Although we have two speakers for topics in physics, more would be OK. Then we might devote one hour just to physics and the nature of time. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. Yes.
