Flat Time

摘要

'Flat Time' proposes a radical and unique cosmic model with major conceptual implications for the ways in which we view our universe and ourselves. Uniquely it proposes a model that includes both the observer and the observed in a manner which may overcome 'the measurement problem' for the first time. Surprisingly Flat Time has not come from scientists but from artists, yet is taken very seriously by the Physics Department of Imperial College. It proposes a radical reorientation of our whole approach to data, the cosmos and our own conscious experience. From starting points in theoretical physics, and originally called 'Event Structure', Flat Time was developed over 40 years by the late John Latham with the close collaboration of his fellow artist Ian Macdonald-Munro. If you are interested in New Paradigms, Cosmic Models, Quantum Gravity and the problem of understanding consciousness in terms of physics, you really need to read this.
