Role of Space-Time in Jaina's Syädvāda
settings and various periods of history have regarded as one of the most central features of existence. That time moves so that events are carried from the future towards us and then recede further into the past. The above case be considered to ancient view of time (t). However, we note that the majority of philosophers e.g. Russell to not agree with transient view of time. They feel that all events and moments stay for ever fixed in position (space) by the framework which they occur. The does not exist an entity as the moving “Now". Time remains still and all temporal relations are permanent., This perhaps was due to Russell's suggestion that one can achieve greater anthological enonomy (Ockhns razor) by eliminating all transient features of time. Still one is able to talk of temporal experiences.
However Russell's view on transient view have been accepted by philosophers like J.J.C. Smart, Mc Taggart who articulated the deeply entrenched common sense view to which temporal points from the fortune, together with events that accounted for those points keep approaching the "Now" of "Apna" momentarily coinciding with it keep on receding into the past. Hence in the next section I shall discuss “A Thought experiment in metaphysics" to context of the above mentioned controversy of transient view of time.
In this case we consider briefly an imaginary situation. Let us suppose that our knowledge of physics of astronomy is considerably greater then it actually is and that on the basis of solar radiation, we establish that our solar system is in years old. Let us suppose that our knowledge of physics of astronomy is considerably greater then it actually is and that on the basis of solar radiation, we establish that our solar system is in yeas old. Let us assume that this year we discover the existence of another solar system say X, many billion of light years satisfying following conditions:
