TOPIC: On the comprehension of time in continuum mechanics by Alexandre Paradis [refresh]
Essay Abstract
Time understanding is an endless search for the comprehension of the present universe. One of the main domain used to described in a comprehensible manner the behaviour of material (solid, fluid, gaz) is contiuum mechanincs. A discussion on the essence of time in such domain will be presented in the present paper. Insight on time nature will also be proposed.
