Time & matter : Venice, Italy, 11-17 August 2002 : proceedings of the International Colloquium on the Science of Time /

Time and matter are the most fundamental concepts in physics and in any science-based description of the world around us. Quantum theory has, however, revealed many novel insights into these concepts in non-relativistic, relativistic and cosmological contexts. The implications of these novel perspec...
