May 15, 2011 at 10:52 | comment | added | user2529 | The mathematician's concern of the axiomatization of time arises as a result of the physicist's concern with the modelling of time. It strikes me that there is no non-archimedean or cyclic model of time in physics. Perhaps this is a result of the belief in the 2nd law of thermodynamics. I'm interested in where it makes sense to model time as cyclic. | |
