Facets of Time in Physics

Kurt Sundermeyer (FU Berlin/MPIWG) gives a talk at the Workshop on the Problem of Time in Perspective (3-4 July, 2015) titled "Facets of Time in Physics". Abstract: In an attempt to understand slogans such as "The End Of Time", "Forget About Time", "Time Reborn", "Time Remains", I started to write an essay about the various notions of time in physics (with a glimpse to philosophy) from classical mechanics to quantum gravity. By this curiosity-driven motivation I realized that there are not only various notions of time, but that there are diverse problems with time and problems of time. In my talk I will present the structure and inputs of this still unfinished treatise, and I expect to receive valuable feedback from the competent participants of this workshop.
