Description

This comprehensive treatise explores how time is conceived across physics' major paradigms: Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, quantum mechanics, and general relativity. The book uncovers substantial differences in how time functions within quantum mechanics versus general relativity, revealing the conceptual tensions that define the Problem of Time. This fundamental challenge encompasses nine interlinked facets that emerge when attempting to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity into a unified framework, particularly essential for developing background-independent theories of quantum gravity. Part of the Fundamental Theories of Physics series (volume 190), this work provides rigorous analysis of one of physics' most pressing theoretical puzzles.

Key Features

Examines time across Newtonian mechanics, special relativity, quantum mechanics, and general relativity paradigms.

Identifies nine interlinked facets of the Problem of Time arising from QM and GR reconciliation.

Addresses background independence in physics and quantum gravity theory development.

Published by Springer as part of the Fundamental Theories of Physics series, volume 190.
