Temporality as Existence
Heidegger places time at the core of human existence (Dasein). Time is not just the background in which events occur, but rather an existential structure that determines how humans experience the world and their meaning.
Past, Present, and Future
Heidegger emphasizes the close relationship between the past (facticity), the present (presence), and the future (possibility). These temporalities are not linear, but intertwined in existential experience.
Relationship with the Crisis of Meaning and Fragmentation of Time
The fourth postulate that discusses the fragmentation of time as a crisis of meaning can be understood within Heidegger's framework, which describes how the discontinuity of temporality can lead to alienation and existential emptiness.
Recovery through Integration
The concept of restoring resonance through multidimensional integration can be interpreted as an attempt to restore the temporal connectedness of Dasein with the world, others, and oneself---an existential and ethical project.
Conclusion
The philosophical studies of Bergson, Husserl, and Heidegger provide a rich conceptual framework for understanding the subjective, phenomenological, and existential dimensions of time that are promoted in the resonance theory of absolute time. All three assert that time is not merely a physical phenomenon, but a reality rooted in human consciousness and existence. Resonance theory extends this legacy by integrating the adaptive dimension of consciousness as central to resonance with absolute time, while also highlighting the social and ecological implications of the fragmentation of temporality in modern life.
4.c The Role of Time in Cosmology and Neurocognition
Understanding of time has developed not only in the realm of philosophy and theoretical physics, but also through empirical research in cosmology and neurocognition. These two fields provide complementary perspectives on the nature of time, from the largest scales of the universe to the subjective experience that occurs in the human brain.
4.c.1 Time in Cosmology: From the Big Bang to Multi-Dimensions
Cosmological Time and the Origin of the Universe
In modern cosmology, time is viewed as a fundamental dimension that emerged with space at the Big Bang. Einstein's general relativity model describes time as an elastic variable dependent on velocity and gravity, challenging the Newtonian concept of absolute time.
Multiverse Theory and Time Dimension
The multiverse theory introduces the possibility of multiple universes with different time structures. The concept of absolute time in resonance theory can be seen as a frame of reference outside the multiverse, allowing for the integration of the various relative time experiences of each universe.
