The Time Stream
In 'The Time Stream', John Taine weaves an intricate sci-fi narrative that deftly combines elements of time travel with the historical event of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The literary style is emblematic of early 20th-century science fiction, where explorations of futuristic worlds and advanced technologies serve as a backdrop for larger philosophical questions. Taine's work is firmly situated within the scientifiction genre—an early term for science fiction—playing on the tension between foreordained destiny and human agency, showcased through the rich tapestry of a society bound by its stringent 'Law of Reason'. John Taine, the pseudonym of mathematician and author Eric Temple Bell, was a contemporary of other science fiction pioneers. His background in mathematics and his tenure as a professor at the California Institute of Technology indisputably influenced his storytelling, infusing 'The Time Stream' with scientific credibility and a thought-provoking examination of time's complex dimensions. Taine's narrative, reflecting his academic interests, invites readers to ponder the implications of scientific advancement on society and the inexorable march of time. The book is a captivating read for aficionados of classic science fiction and enthusiasts of temporal adventures. Taine challenges his audience to reflect on the consequences of scientific hubris and the nature of cause and effect. 'The Time Stream' is recommended for readers who appreciate a careful blend of historical intrigue with speculative futures, and who relish in the exploration of theoretical concepts brought to life through narrative prowess.
Data Communications and their Performance
This is the sixth conference in the series which started in 1981 in Paris, followed by conferences held in Zurich (1984), Rio de Janeirio (1987), Barcelona (1991), and Raleigh (1993). The main objective of this IFIP conference series is to provide a platform for the exchange of recent and original contributions in communications systems in the areas of performance analysis, architectures, and applications. There are many exiciting trends and developments in the communications industry, several of which are related to advances in Asynchronous Transfer Mode·(ATM), multimedia services, and high speed protocols. It is commonly believed in the communications industry that ATM represents the next generation of networking. Yet, there are a number of issues that has been worked on in various standards bodies, government and industry research and development labs, and universities towards enabling high speed networks in general and ATM networks in particular. Reflecting these trends, the technical program of the Sixth IFIP W.G. 6.3 Conference on Performance of Computer Networks consists of papers addressing a wide range of technical challenges and proposing various state of the art solutions to a subset of them. The program includes 25 papers selected by the program committee out of 57 papers submitted.
Logic and Time
Author: Krzysztof Michalski
language: en
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
Release Date: 1997
The subject of this study is Husserl's theory of meaning, from his critique of psychologism and the theory of meaning that stems from it, through the transcendental theory of meaning of The Idea of Phenomenology, Ideas I and Cartesian Meditations, to the theory of time consciousness and its consequences for Husserl's understanding of meaning. Throughout the study the tension in Husserl's thought between two interpretative strategies, the `Cartesian' and the `Hermeneutical', is brought to the fore.
