The First convention of the foreign Society for the learn of Time was once held on the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut at Oberwolfach within the Black wooded area, Federal Republic of Germany from Sunday, 31 August to Saturday, 6 September, 1969. The beginning of this convention and the formation of the Society is going again to a suggestion as a result of J. T. Fraser that was once mentioned at a convention on "Interdisciplinary views of Time" held by means of the hot York Academy of Sciences in January, 1966. It used to be unanimously agreed than that a world society can be shaped on an interdisciplinary foundation with the thing of stimulating curiosity in all difficulties bearing on 'time and that this item may top be attained by way of meetings held at typical periods. J. T. Fraser used to be elected Secretary, S. Watanabe Treasurer, and that i used to be elected President. It was once agreed, at my recommendation, that the association of the 1st convention of the newly shaped Society be left to a committee of those 3 officials, at the figuring out that they'd invite gurus at the function of time within the a variety of distinctive sciences and arts to shape an Advisory Board to aid them. one of many major problems in looking help for an interdisciplinary convention is that the majority foundations confine their curiosity completely both to the sciences or to the humanities.

Zeit als physikalischer Begriff FRIEDRICH HUND* Summary. In daily life "time" has two aspects, and in physics, too. Time as coordinate describes the embedding of events into the universe. Time as consecutive order shows the difference between past and future. This difference is not found in the general laws of physics, but derives from a special fact, a former state of very low entropy; its origin is not conceivable in terms of physics. The second law of thermodynamics, which violates the symmetry of the two directions of time, is a statement about our special real world.
Before adopting this approach it is necessary to look more closely at the meanings which can be assigned to the phrase "time of the journey". Suppose that A and B are in agreement when at relative rest as to their scales o£length and time. The event E b, marking the end of B's journey, may then be regarded as the event when B reaches a point (say the end of a rod) at distance Ll (measured by A) from A. Earlier I said that Ea was an event at A when he reckoned this same journey to cease. This might mean at least two different things.
C. McVittie: General Relativity and Time in the Solar System has been verified. Unfortunately, it is not clear what theoretica1 formula he uses nor exactly how he carries out his numerical computations. Neither has he published the time-delays that he has measured. At present (July 1969) we can only await further elucidation by Shapiro of his remarkable investigations. The work on radar time-delays has been supported by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, USA, under Grant NGR - 14-005-088.
