Description

I. INTRODUCTION The Nobel laureate in literature, Henri Bergson, famously argued that the role of time in nature is to prevent the simultaneous incidence of all events. (1) He viewed time as a "vehicle of creativity and choice". The distinction between dynamical and chronological time bears out Bergson in this assertion. Dynamical time is the time embraced by most of the laws of physics. It originally derives from the oldest branch of physics-classical mechanics. It is not the irrevocable time of our naive experience in which irrevocable choices, whether intentionally or not, are made. Rather it is what may be termed an "indifferent time interval"-a time interval devoid of qualitative variation or significance.
