Abstract:
The question of the time is one of the obscure and challenging subjects which has been discussed as a mysterious problem in various civilizations. In ancient Greece, the question has been debated among the supporters of existence and eternity. We observe the words of Plato, on the existence of the absolute essence of eternity against the change and transition time instantiated as a conducted river in the Heraclitus view. Other discussions focused on the relationship between the change and displacement, or the the spatial relations to which Aristotle paid attention. With the passing of time from the ancient and medieval eras to the Renaissance period, along with the growth of the science in recent decades, this challenge was more introduced to physics. The innovation of mechanical description of the paths of the particles in Newtonian physics followed by the Relativistic development of classical mechanics in which space and time are merged into a single notion, new horizons are appeared which should be explored. In this thesis, we analyze different approaches to the issues related to the meaning and perception of time as well as the philosophical accounts attached to the problem.
