註釋Time is a topic of considerable elusiveness ... This elusiveness is enough to cast doubt upon its very reality, and strong arguments have been put forth ... Enlightening and provocative as the development of these positions may be, it seems somewhat preemptive to declare for or against the reality of something that has not been adequately defined, and often arguments against the reality of time in fact appear instead to amount to constructing definitions of time that are more or less counter-intuitive. A central issue in the debate concerning time's reality is its relationship to space. It is a challenge to talk and think about time without resorting to spatial metaphors, and science has found it extremely helpful to make use of geometrical techniques that were once reserved only for spatial relationships, to deal with time as well. (Michael B. Moore's thesis -- page 3). Michael B. Moore analyzes the issue of spatialized time in human thought and attempt to bring the two primary approaches to exploring the issue of time as exemplified by physics and philosophy together for examination.
