It is complementary to Mathematical and Experimental Physics, being focused on the same ideas but having different specific goals.\u003cp\u003e The theory has a fundamentally dynamic nature, its basic ingredients being structured discrete events, causal relations between events, and event properties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Formal languages are defined for defining events and properties and for comparing definitions, in particular definitions formulated in different paradigms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The theoretical ideas are exemplified by applications to Space and Time. In this context possible answers to many of the most fundamental unresolved problems in Physics are suggested: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e . the nature of time, its apparent continuity, its apparent flow and directionality\u003cbr\u003e . the nature of space, its apparent continuity, and the reasons behind its dimensionality\u003cbr\u003e . the nature of matter\u003cbr\u003e . the possible utility of numbers in defining meaning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Delaney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0595331459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595331451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.52d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Delaney","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47199872286975,"sku":"9780595331451","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11aa5433-4748-4590-8f64-ea7609252c45.jpg?v=1756785438","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/discrete-event-physics-william-delaney-9780595331451","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
