About time

שו”תCategory: philosophyAbout time
asked 4 years ago

Hello Rabbi
Perhaps this is a fundamental misunderstanding, as Kant’s statement that time is a product of the mind in order to perceive all events is considered a contradiction to the theory of relativity (that time is a property of the object).
With thanks

No. On the contrary, from the theory of relativity some wanted to bring evidence to Kant, because there the rate of flow of time varies according to the observer. But in my opinion there is no connection either way. In any case, the theory of relativity does not say that time is a property of the object (I also do not understand exactly what a property of the object means).
