  This paper presents yet another personal reflection on one the most important
concepts in both science and the humanities: time. This elusive notion has been
not only bothering philosophers since Plato and Aristotle. It goes throughout
human history embracing all analytical and creative (anthropocentric)
disciplines. Time has been a central theme in physical and life sciences,
philosophy, psychology, music, art and many more. This theme is known with a
vast body of knowledge across different theories and categories. What has been
explored concerns its nature (rational, irrational, arational),
appearances/qualia, degrees, dimensions and scales of conceptualization
(internal, external, fractal, discrete, continuous, mechanical, quantum, local,
global, etc.). Of particular interest have been parameters of time such as
duration ranges, resolutions, modes (present, now, past, future), varieties of
tenses (e.g. present perfect, present progressive, etc.) and some intuitive,
but also fancy phenomenological characteristics such as arrow, stream, texture,
width, depth, density, even scent. Perhaps the most distinct characteristic of
this fundamental concept is the absolute time constituting the flow of
consciousness according to Husserl, the reflection of pure (human) nature
without having the distinction between exo and endo. This essay is a personal
reflection upon the meaning of time in modern physics and phenomenological
philosophy.
