In Time, Space and Philosophy, Christopher Ray addresses many of the fundamental issues of the philosophy of space and time which have arisen from the works of scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton, Ernst Mach, Albert Einstein, and Stephen Hawking. The paradoxical nature of space and the problem of infinitesimals are aspects of broad ranging debates which discuss the premises of the work of Newton, Einstein, and other scientific giants. his book extends these debates in many areas, examining absolute simultaneity as well as black holes, the big bang theory, and even time travel.
