Historical
and Industry Politicial Causes
of
the Neglect of Time factors
First
Occurrences: Philosopher Wars in ancient Greece:
The
party of motion and change, Proponent: Heraklit (panta rhei).
against:
The
party of stasis and eternity, Proponents: Eleatics (Parmenides, Zeno) and Platon.
The
Stasis party wins.
Christianity
later adopts Platonic model: a steady state system of an eternal kingdom of God
and the heavens.
Natural
Science adopts another version of the Platonic model: a steady state system of
eternal natural laws.
In
Physics: energy equilibrium mathematics is easier than dissipative systems, and
disequilibrium. Therefore here also static emphasis.
Gotthard
Günther (1976, x): "Time is exorcized from the system of natural laws."
Computer
Science has little concern with time issues (Halang).
