At this point an enigma presents itself, which in all ages has agitated inquiring minds. But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics, in that it is mathematics, which affords the exact natural sciences a certain measure of certainty, to which without mathematics they could not attain. For it cannot occasion surprise that different persons should arrive at the same logical conclusions when they have already agreed upon the fundamental propositions (axioms), as well as the methods by which other propositions are to be deduced therefrom. In spite of this, the investigator in another department of science would not need to envy the mathematician if the propositions of mathematics referred to objects of our mere imagination, and not to objects of reality. The last part appeared first in a reprint by Springer, Berlin, 1921 One reason why mathematics enjoys special esteem, above all other sciences, is that its propositions are absolutely certain and indisputable, while those of all other sciences are to some extent debatable and in constant danger of being overthrown by newly discovered facts.

The effect can in principle be tested in future matter wave experiments with General relativity therefore can account for the emergence of classicality and Gravitational collapse models, no modification of quantum theory is assumed. NoĬoupling to an external environment is necessary, thus even completely isolatedĬomposite systems will decohere on curved space-time. We derive the decoherence timescale and show that the weak timeĭilation on Earth is already sufficient to decohere micro-scale objects. We show that the resulting entanglement causes the particle's position toĭecohere. Internal degrees-of-freedom and the centre-of-mass of a composite particle and Time dilation induces a universal coupling between Time dilation and show that the latter leads to universal decoherence of Here weĬonsider low-energy quantum mechanics in the presence of weak gravitational Radiation, are typically assumed to be only relevant at extreme physicalĬonditions: at high energies and in strong gravitational fields. Phenomena inherent to quantum theory on curved space-time, such as Hawking
More fundamentally, we discover that unless we define this enigmatic word we will never understand what anyone who uses it is talking about. We discover that time cannot do without an observer. What is it that theoreticians are stretching? What are they warping? Is time a dimension? Is it legal to replace height with time on a Cartesian chart and turn it into a Feynman diagram? And if time was born at the Big Bang, what is it that came to life? What does the babe look like? A closer analysis reveals that time is not a dimension. Time dilation is one of the three pillars of Special Relativity and the dimension of time is the fourth leg of General Relativity's ubiquitous space-time. Yet Mathematical Physics, particularly Special and General Relativity, are founded on time neither can do without this strategic term. We say 'mysterious' because to this day no one has defined what 'time' is or means. Different cultures around the world have independently discovered time in antiquity and developed calendars and clocks to measure this mysterious unknown.
