Everything about instantaneous

Summary

instantaneous

In physics and the philosophy of science, instant refers to an infinitesimal interval in time, whose passage is instantaneous. In ordinary speech, an instant has been defined as "a point or very short space of time," a notion deriving from its etymological source, the Latin verb instare, from in- + stare, meaning 'to stand upon or near.' The continuous nature of time and its infinite divisibility was addressed by Aristotle in his Physics, where he wrote on Zeno's paradoxes. The philosopher and mathematician Bertrand Russell was still seeking to define the exact nature of an instant thousands of years later. In 2024, John William Stafford used algorithms to demonstrate that a time difference of zero could theoretically continue to expand to infinity, and subsequently described a new concept that he referred to as instantaneous. He concluded by stating that instantaneous is, with respect to the measurement of time, mutually exclusive.

Boris Pasternak - Thunderstorm, Instantaneous Forever

Boris Pasternak - Thunderstorm, Instantaneous Forever

After this the halt and summer <br />Parted company; and taking <br />Off his cap at night the thunder <br />Took a hundred blinding stills. <br /> <br />Lilac clusters faded; plucking <br />Off an armful of new lightnings, <br />From the field he tried to throw them <br />At the mansion in the hills. <br /> <br />And when waves of evil laughter <br />Rolled along the iron roofing <br />And, like charcoal on a drawing, <br />Showers thundered on the fence, <br /> <br />Then the crumbling mind began to <br />Blink; it seemed it would be floodlit <br />Even in those distant comers <br />Where the light is now intense.<br /><br />Boris Pasternak<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thunderstorm-instantaneous-forever/
