Chaos theory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "A plot of the trajectory Lorenz system for values r = 28, σ = 10, b = 8/3"

Não parece o símbolo do infinito? Há algo nas culturas antigas que demonstra um conhecimento avançado? É muita coincidência o símbolo do infinito parecer com o gráfico do sistema de caos do Lorenz

...cinema is the sole experience where time is given to me as a perception. -- Jean-Louis Schefer, L'homme ordinaire du cinéma

The movement-image provides one way of apprehending or understanding duration as an image or a spatialization of time. If indeed, as Bergson says, perception is the master of space in the measure to which action is the master of time, what happens when actions no longer 'master' time in the image, that is, when duration is no longer measured by the translation of movements into actions? What does movement become, and what kinds of images are formed?"

What is Time?: "When was the 'Start of Everything'?

* The commonest view of scientists is that the universe, and hence time, came into existence with a 'big bang' about 16 billion (16x10⁹) years ago. This theory is based primarily on observations of colour patterns of stars, of the background radiation between stars, and of the distribution of elements in the universe. It is possible, however, that the colour patterns are partly, or entirely, due to a loss of energy of light with time, not solely to physical movement. It is even possible that the universe will prove to have indistinguishable 'big bang', 'tired light' and 'dissipative' models, just as it has several indistinguishable models of quantum mechanics, and that time thus has no true beginning. It's best to keep an open mind on this subject for some time to come.
* Our biological time began about 4 billion years ago, with the appearance of permanent liquid water on earth.
* The earliest human calendars (one is dated to 30,000 B.C.) kept track of the days in the moon cycle. Later ones counted moons or years from the accession to power of the head of a cultural group.
* The early Egyptian year began with the first visible rising of Sirius above the horizon. It was probably in use by 4200 B.C..
* The Mayan calendar of Central America began 12 August 3113 B.C. Gregorian, possibly the religious date of foundation of the first Egyptian dynasty. It was brought to the Olmec of the Gulf of Mexico by a fleet of Egyptian-derived reed boats headed by a senior religious person, the 'Plumed Serpent', about 2200 years ago. It is no longer in use, but is truly carved in stone.
* One Bishop Ussher considered that, according to the Bible, God created the world on 23 October 4004 B.C. We have just entered his 7th millennium. (A hundred years ago, 23 October 1997 would have been considered by many to be a more important date than 1 January 2000.)
* A short-lived French revolutionary calendar, with 10 day weeks, began 22"

The Torah Science Foundation -- Where Kabbalah meets Science: "From this we may conclude that hod is the consciousness of temporality whereas its partner, netzach, is the consciousness of eternity (the word “netzach” itself means “eternity”). In the union of netzach and hod, Isaachar and Zevulun, eternity unites with temporality, eternal values enliven temporal values, and temporal values become the means to manifest eternal values."

Buddhism A to Z "T": "The Buddhist teaching about time is closely linked to the doctrine of impermanence (see entry). What we see as the passage of time when analyzed in large segments becomes ungraspable when analyzed on the level of single moments of time. Nonetheless, when operating on the ordinary level of discourse, the Buddha taught about the passage of time on both the macrocosmic and microcosmic levels. Just as all beings are born, grow old, get sick and die, so too do entire world-systems come into being, achieve stasis, decay, and cease to be. And every moment of thought can also be seen as coming into being, abiding, decaying, and disappearing."

Buddhism A to Z "T": "'Earlier a disciple asked me, 'What is time?' I haven't any time. There is no time. Time is just each person's individual awareness of long and short; that is all. If you are happy every day, fifty years can go by and you won't feel it has been a long time. If one's life is very blissful, if one has no worries, anxieties, anger, or afflictions, one's entire life seems but a short time--the blink of an eye. Ultimately, time is nothing more than a distinction based upon each person's awareness. . . . (SS II 69)

If 'the present' and 'future' exist presupposing the 'the past,' 'the present' and 'future' will exist in 'the past.'

If 'the present' and 'future' did not exist there [in 'the past'], how could 'the present' and 'future' exist presupposing that 'past'?

Without presupposing 'the past' the two things ['the present' and 'future']cannot be proved to exist.

Therefore, neither present nor future time exist.

In this way the remaining two [times] can be inverted.

Thus one would regard 'highest,' 'lowest' and 'middle,' etc., and oneness and difference.

A non-stationary 'time' cannot be 'grasped;' and a stationary 'time' which can be grasped does not exist.

How, then, can one perceive time if it is not 'grasped?'

Since time is dependent on a thing (bhava), how can time [exist] without a thing?

There is not any thing which exists; how, then, will time become [something]?

(Nagarjuna, 'Mulamadhyamakakarikas', Streng, tr. Emptiness)

Buddhism A to Z "T": "According to Mahayana Buddhist teaching, time is fundamentally unreal and is the product of distinction-making in the mind."

Aristóteles - Wikipédia: "Potência, ato e movimento

Todas as coisas são em potência e ato. Uma coisa em potência é uma coisa que tende a ser outra, como uma semente (uma árvore em potência). Uma coisa em ato é algo que já está realizado, como uma árvore (uma semente em ato). É interessante notar que todas as coisas, mesmo em ato, também são em potência (pois uma árvore - uma semente em ato - também é uma folha de papel ou uma mesa em potência). A única coisa totalmente em ato é o Ato Puro, que Aristóteles identifica com o Bem. Esse Ato não é nada em potência, nem é a realização de potência alguma. Ele é sempre igual a si mesmo, e não é um antecedente de coisa alguma. Desse conceito Tomás de Aquino derivou sua noção de Deus em que Deus seria 'ato puro'.

Um ser em potência só pode tornar-se um ser em ato mediante algum movimento. O movimento vai sempre da potência ao ato, da privação à posse. É por isso que o movimento pode ser definido como ato de um ser em potência enquanto está em potência."

Toda vez que vejo uma santa ceia em lar humilde, sinto a vibração vermelha do cimento queimado com cera Bravo, sinto cheiro de hortelã tenra e cacos de azulejo, penso que nunca houve tal lugar – que nunca houve uma casa da avó. Quando estreito a temporalidade de toda a minha existência para o aqui-agora, eternamente presentificado, futuro e sobretudo o passado são obras ficcionais ou delírio. Ninguém se liberta do pingar dos segundos e bravos resistimos à la Prometeu.
