On the Way to Understanding the Time Phenomenon: The Constructions of Time in Natural Science, Part 2 2

Time is considered as an independent entity which cannot be reduced to the concept of matter, space or field. The point of discussion is the “time flow” conception of N A Kozyrev (1908-1983), an outstanding Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of the experimental studies of “the active properties of time”, by both Kozyrev and modern scientists, the reader will find different interpretations of Kozyrev's views and some developments of his ideas in the fields of geophysics, astrophysics, general relativity and theoretical mechanics. Ch. 1. Reviews and comments. A substantial interpretation of N.A. Koiyrev's conception of time / A.P. Levich -- The fundamentals of N.A. Kozyrev's causal mechanics / L.S.

Shikhobalov -- Stars and koltsars / V.E. Zhvirblis -- What can be obtained from the substantial conception of time? / L.S. Shikhobalov -- Nikolay Alexandrovich Kozyrev A study of the "time flow" concept of N.A. Kozyrev (1908-1983), a Russian astronomer and natural scientist. In addition to a review of his experimental studies of "the active properties of time", the book contains different interpretations of Kozyrev's views. N.A.Kozyrev, an outstanding astronomer and natural scientist, enriched the dynamic picture of the World by introducing a new entity, possessing "active properties" and coinciding with neither matter, nor field, nor space-time in its usual understanding.
