Zagadnienie aczasowego charakteru wszechświata w ujęciu teorii kosmologicznych

Abstract

The article presents general characteristic of cosmological theories concerning a possibility of the existence of atemporal phase in cosmic evolution. These hypotheses were presented among others by G. Lemaitre, Ya. Zeldovich, I. D. Novikov, K. Capek and J. Merleau-Ponty. Hypotheses about atemporal universe have important philosophical consequences showing possibility of the existence of processes where many terms generally used cannot be extrapolated. Besides traditional philosophical theories about beginning of the Universe with time or in time may be developed new theories about beginning of time in the Universe. Presented hypotheses show also a necessity of a modification of the traditional matter definition (as existing in time and space) and necessity of a reinterpretation of the classical question about temporal beginning of the Universe.
