• Resumen

  • The author gives a detailed account of the concept of time and the different forms of measuring it throughout the history of modern physics (although he sets its precedents as far back as Aristotle): Galileo and Kepler, Newton and his concept of absolute: time, the idealism of Kant and its influence on physics, the experiments of Faraday and Maxwell, Mach's criticism of Newton's mechanicism and his idea of absolute time,and, finally, Einstein's concept of time within the limits of the theory of relativity. The author concludes his account with an epilogue on the real and ideal forms of time, in which he defends its character of rational construct based upon an experimental foundation.
