By the one and only Matt Farr. Dr. Matt Farr is an Associate Teaching Professor in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge. His research focuses on the nature of time and causation, particularly the directionality of time, the role of causality in physics, and the psychology of time and causation. Mattโs research has been published in leading journals in philosophy, physics and psychology, and he is currently writing a book on the philosophy and physics of time direction. Matt received his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Bristol, and has held postdoctoral research fellowships at the University of Sydney and University of Queensland.
We think of the world as directed from past to future. However, physics has provided multiple motivations for thinking of time as something fundamentally directionless, with no basic difference between earlier and later. This lecture looks at the motivations for directionless time, provides a philosophical account as to what it means for time to be directionless, and explores what a directionless picture of time means for our own experience and perspective within time.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
This mind-bending lecture will be on MARCH 31, 2025 from 5PM – 7PM!
Most importantly, REGISTRATION IS FREE and the event is OPEN to the public!
