1 mar 2003 · In this paper, we shortly summarized current attitudes about time in biology and then we considered the functional time and the way of its emergence.
In contrast with classical physics, particularly with Sir Isaac Newton, where time is a continuous function, generally valid, eternally and evenly flowing as an absolute time dimension, in the biological sciences, time is in essence of cyclical nature (physiological periodicities), where future pass ….

Traditionally, time has been modelled as a basic variable taking its values from an interval on a real axis. Although special relativity introduced Lorentz transformations mixing rectilinear time and space axes, while general relativity introduced curved spacetimes,...
Introduction. The concept of time is the most vexing riddle confronting science; its mysteries permeate all things’-10 (see Table I). For Newton and his followers, time was reduced to an absolute reality, ‘an entity independent in its existence of anything external (Table I).
"clock," or "calendar" time in physics is seen to be due to the way in which the component spacetimes of low-level systems are mutually coupled. This presents a different approach to universal time. Rather than being built 145 R. Buccheri et al. (eds.), The Nature of Time: Geometry, Physics and Perception, 145-152.
In physics, time is defined by its measurement: time is what a clock reads. [1] In classical, non-relativistic physics, it is a scalar quantity (often denoted by the symbol ) and, like length, mass, and charge, is usually described as a fundamental quantity.
