How to Read this Book
Passionate physicists who are mainly interested in the new theory may like to jump directly to chapter V where they will find all the relevant analysis of the new conceptions with the mathematical formulation of the Duality of Time Theory, or they could possibly start with chapter IV to get acquainted with the general philosophical conceptions of Ibn al-Arabi’s cosmology that led to this revolutionary genuinely-complex time-time hyperbolic geometry.
Chapters II and III are only necessary for the general readers who would like to learn more about the important historical developments of the main ideas and theories in natural philosophy, cosmology and modern physics. These two chapters should provide a comprehensive summary for those unspecialized readers who may need to review how the various theories of physics and related cosmological models have developed into their current modern framework. The idea also behind these two chapters is to show how all the major theories are essentially based on one of the two competing views of the continuum or discretuum structures of space and matter.
These two opposing views are mutually conclusive, while neither one of them is capable of explaining all natural phenomena. Although some other philosophers have studied the metaphysical oneness of nature, but they could not make any application of it, because their theories were all abstract and incomplete. Therefore, the Duality of Time came at this critical historical era in modern physics after physicists and cosmologists have tried all possible ways to combine these two opposing views that are now manifesting through the modern theories of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. For this reason, the detailed chapter IV is necessary to establish the philosophical and ontological foundations of the Duality of Time that is based on Ibn al-Arabi’s theory of the Oneness of Being, which is basically a much more sophisticated and comprehensive version of Parmenides oneness and his two views of nature. As we introduced above, chapter I then gives a brief description of the historical development of the main new concepts and the major fundamental problems that could be explained according to the new genuinely-complex time-time geometry, all to be analyzed further in chapter IV and the subsequent chapters.
The final two chapters VI and VII are also necessary to introduce the new extensions of space-time geometry into the incorporeal worlds, with some future perspectives of how the theory could be developed in this direction.
Patient readers can of course read all these seven chapters in the normal sequence.
The science of Time is a noble science, that reveals the secret of Eternity. Only the Elites of Sages may ever come to know this secret. It is called the First Age, or the Age of ages, from which time is emerging.
