Abstract

Abstract Buonomano and Rovelli (unpubl. manuscript, 2021) and Gruber, Block, and Montemayor ( Front. Psychol. , 2022, 13, art. 718505) grapple with the problem that we experience both a present moment and a flow of time, yet neither of those things seems to be recognised in physics. This paper makes three points about that. The present moment in perception is not the same as the present moment in physics because they occupy radically different time scales, 10 –44 s in physics and something in the millisecond range in perception. The information about what is currently being perceived is experienced as in the present not because it is but because it is all labelled with time markers saying that it is the present; there are similar time markers identifying still active historical information as in the past. The flow of time is not generated by actual change over time but by an information structure existing at a single moment of time that represents change over connected time markers. Whether there is an actual present and an actual flow of time in the universe or not, the experienced present and experienced flow of time are perceptual constructs and nothing more.

[摘要]Buonomano and Rovelli (unpublic .)手稿，2021)和Gruber, Block, and Montemayor(前。Psychol。， 2022, 13，艺术。(718505)努力解决这样一个问题:我们既经历了现在的时刻，也经历了时间的流动，但这两者似乎都不被物理学所承认。本文对此有三点看法。感知中的当下时刻和物理中的当下时刻是不一样的，因为它们占据了完全不同的时间尺度，物理学中的10 -44秒，而感知中的大约是毫秒。关于当前被感知的信息被体验为现在不是因为它是，而是因为它都被贴上了时间标记说它是现在;还有类似的时间标记来标识仍然活跃的历史信息，就像过去一样。时间流不是由实际的时间变化产生的，而是由存在于某一时刻的信息结构产生的，该信息结构代表了连接时间标记上的变化。无论宇宙中是否存在真实的现在和真实的时间流，经验到的现在和经验到的时间流都是感性的构念，仅此而已。

期刊介绍： Timing & Time Perception aims to be the forum for all psychophysical, neuroimaging, pharmacological, computational, and theoretical advances on the topic of timing and time perception in humans and other animals. We envision a multidisciplinary approach to the topics covered, including the synergy of: Neuroscience and Philosophy for understanding the concept of time, Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence for adapting basic research to artificial agents, Psychiatry, Neurology, Behavioral and Computational Sciences for neuro-rehabilitation and modeling of the disordered brain, to name just a few. Given the ubiquity of interval timing, this journal will host all basic studies, including interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary works on timing and time perception and serve as a forum for discussion and extension of current knowledge on the topic.
