Organizers: Dr. Rosolino Buccheri (Co-director), Dr. Metod Saniga (Co-director)

Description:
The correct quantitative elucidation and deep qualitative understanding of the internal structure of time represent, undoubtedly, a crucial stepping stone on our path towards unlocking the ultimate secrets of the very essence of our being. It is, therefore, not surprising that there have been numerous attempts, of varying degrees of mathematical rigour and a wide range of physical scrutiny, to address this issue. Yet, the subject still remains one of the toughest and most challenging problems faced by contemporary science. The aim of the workshop is two-fold. On the one side, it is complex examination and a critical review of the state-of-the-art of the problem from the standpoint of the physicist, combined in an organic way with contributions from other relevant fields of science. On the other side, it is an in-depth evaluation of the most promising routes towards further insight into the problem.

Speakers: I. Prigogine, R. Buccheri, V. Di Gesu, A. Eisler, M.S. El Naschie, A. Grandpierre, G. Jaroszkiewicz, S. Roy, M. Saniga, J.D.H. Smith, W.M. Stuckey, B. Vicario
