Page 9 sur 9
In conclusion,
be registered in a history, …, to participate of évolutions, presupposes use of temporal references,
of references that enable appreciation of mysterious intervals which are not space : the durations,
of references to discretion of an creative entity "master of the time", away phenomena to judge them and implicated in them to act.
We are thus, remote from the common understanding of the time and how much seems obsolete the assertion of Nietzsche :
"Time in itself, is a nonsense ; there is a time only for beings who have senses."! (Cf.- Book of the philosopher, theoretical Studies).
In a research of primordial causes, let's stop therefore speculating on "time's running away", on its arrow, or, on its cone.
For a credible understanding of the universal dynamics, time must be recognized as a potentiality, ipso facto, of transcendent order,
a potentiality implicated in the reality as the universal forces.
On the other hand, to anticipate future in a coherent way, it is necessary that, ceaselessly, virtual copies from "past situations" and "present situations", have been built, judged and updated in a same untemporal place.
What can we say of this mysterious place,
of the abstraction's domain different of the space,
of the beyond the reality which is realm of the spiritual life and eternity ?
About four centuries BC, Plato had already presentiment of a beyond the world :
"But a fact is sure in any case, it is that the Forms in itself, you agree (Socrates), are not in us and that they cannot be in our world." (cf. Parmenide – 134b).
Regrettably, few philosophers and theologians have been, are sensitive to this presentiment rich of modernity and of expectations.
As for scientists, few are the ones who tempted, who try to integrate the eternity into their theories, convinced, a disastrous understanding error, that some laws and principles govern universe.
They are even satisfied with the famous Big-Bang's theory according to which the world would have emerged from the nothingness, following an original explosion.
But analysis of the manufacturing process of certain atomic nuclei (it's process of nucleosynthesis which requires temperatures of billion degrees), enables only to conclude that in the cosmos there are, constantly, of extraordinary explosions which are followed of a specific cosmic radiation (cold radiation).
Moreover, this radiation is anisotropic, confirming so our world’s understanding :
in universe, eternally, there have been, there are, there will be of numerous Bangs.
Talking of this, let's notice that some scientists begin to imagine a second Bang; according to the American researchers, John C. Mather and George F. Smoot (Nobel Prize for Physics 2006), this one would be confirmed by the information obtained by means of satellite Cobe,
information showing that cold radiation is coming from several directions with a same intensity.
But then why only two Bangs and no more ?
Difficult it's true, for physicists to deny henceforth Big-Bang's theory !
Nevertheless, the extreme aforesaid temperatures disturb enormously the physicists so much that some of them do not hesitate to imagine the time's fusion in space (time's absorption by space).
For Stephen Hawking, for example :
"It's possible that under certain conditions .... the space and the time lose what distinguishs them - we could say that time becomes space - and then, it is more exact to speak of a four-dimensional space and not of "space-time".
Calculations show that this fact is inevitable if we consider the geometry of the universe during the first very small fraction of the first second ....
We could say that the conditions to limits of the universe are that there is no limit. If the "space-time" is actually infinite, without limit or without side, this has important philosophic consequences. This would mean that we can describe universe by means of a mathematical tool which will have been completely established only according to science's laws.
We do not know precise form of this laws : at the moment, we have some partial laws which govern universe's behavior …" (Cf. New physics).
Obviously, we shall not cease repeating it, the partial or universal laws aren't recognizing, aren't choosing, aren't deciding, …, aren't governing ; they are formalizations (expressions) of unchanging behaviors !
As for Bang, even Big, we cannot conceive it as a primordial cause in a cyberworld where "sense" is omnipresent ; if there is an universal respect of durations, there is too, permanently, a creative entity, of transcendent order, ipso facto of divine character, who judges them and uses them.
Thus let's beware to assertions, we dare to say it, unconsidered, which are founded on an archaic understanding of the time :
time began with Big-Bang and will end with Big-Crunch, …, cosmic singularities as the black holes do not know time, …
Time is a mysterious potentiality which, after its actualization in durations (its materialization to become realities), enables rigorous chronologies that characterize universe's evolutions ; due to its transcendent nature, it has had no beginning and will not have end.
Besides, we don't be surprised by its dichotomy expressed by :
- the real time recognized and measured, or symbolized by means of specific equations,
- the potential time that can be associated to any physical phenomenon or to any "abstraction" as the virtual images, concepts, …, ideas which are in the abstraction's domain, and we refute assertion according to which time is only in us and for us.
Kant will excuse us !
