Sobre IBD

Sommaroy sees no sunset for approximately 69 days of each year, during which the residents of this small Norwegian village enjoy perpetual daylight. This has inspired the Ghanaian philosopher, Samuel K. K. Blankson, to develop the philosophy of secular time based on daylight in astronomy.

    Samuel K.K. Blankson / Samuel K.KBlankson
    In this monograph, the Ghanaian philosopher, Samuel K. K. Blankson, takes up the question of time. He argues that time and the application of time are two different things in the mind, but often they are conflated in practice. For example, he says if you want to know the true nature of time you cannot rely on the clock, no matter how it is analysed. Under relativity there is no...

    ’The coming revolution in physics’ is the authors latest monograph expanding his concepts and arguments about the misunderstanding and misuse of time in physics. Blankson argues that since most of us accept that the earth-year is a valid unit of time, we have to accept, also, that time is necessarily discrete, since the year is only one unit of time that has to be repeated for ...
