These
four lectures by Dr Arif Ahmed of Cambridge University concentrate on
two questions: the reality of time and its apparent asymmetry
Time Lecture 1 by Dr Arif Ahmed
Kant
What is time? Could there be creatures ouside of time? Does it flow – and, if so, how quickly? Does it exist at all? read more
Time Lecture 2 by Dr Arif Ahmed
Dummett
A graphic way of accounting for the idea that we can affect the future but not the past is in terms of decision theory. read more
Time Lecture 3 by Dr Arif Ahmed
McTaggart
Another important aspect of time is its reality or otherwise. read more
Time Lecture 4 by Dr Arif Ahmed
Mellor

The Philosophy of Time
edited by Robin Le Poidevin and Murray MacBeath
A balanced set of readings which introduce the central topics in the philosophy of time.
Introducing Time
by Craig Callender and Ralph Edney
What is time? The 5th-century philosopher St Augustine famously said that he knew what time was as long as no one asked him. Introducing Time tackles this question and dares to go where Augustine would not.

Cuckoo Clock 3D looks as if 4 original wooden clocks grow out of a huge old tree. There are 4 amazing cuckoo birds living in their small clock-houses on this big fairy tree. They peek out at each whole and half hour and sing their song. The picture is different in the day and night: you can see the wonderful forest lit with the daylight, amazing birds and butterflies, while during the night fireflies will twinkle on your screen. The sounds change also, depending on the time of the day.
