Abstract
One may formulate some implicit premises that dominate in current natural science:
-
• Studies of time are performed by philosophy rather than by natural science.
-
• Time in science is an initial, undefinable concept.
-
• To measure time, it is sufficient to have physical clocks on the basis of gravitational or electromagnetic processes.
-
• The problems of time in natural science are the solved or unsolved problems of relativity theory.
-
• Our Universe is an isolated system.
-
• The conceptual armoury of science has no place for substances like phlogiston, light-bearing ether, entelecheia, etc.
