The Structure of this Book
This book is divided into three chapters, in addition to a short introduction. The first chapter summarizes the general aspects of the concept of time. This short chapter provides a quick review of the main scientific theories and philosophical views on time and cosmology. Readers interested mainly in Ibn al-Arabi’s views, and the novel advancements introduced by the Single Monad Model and Duality of Time Theory, can safely skip this chapter if they are well familiar with the main developments of modern physics theories.
In Chapter II, the Single Monad Model of the Cosmos is outlined, focusing mainly on the dynamic relation between physical multiplicity and the metaphysical oneness, thus explaining how the dimensions of geometry are being formed in the inner levels of time. This chapter will also briefly introduce the main aspects of the duality nature of time according to Ibn al-Arabi’s theory of the Oneness of Being.
In the final chapter, the Duality of Time postulate is introduced and examined, giving some detailed discussions on how the resulting genuinely-complex time-time geometry can be applied to solve many persisting problems and provide a complete logical interpretation of quantum behavior, as well as deriving all the principles of Special and General Relativity, but without going too much into the mathematical formulations which have been elaborated in Volumes II and III.
