Abstract : In the standard picture of the history of special relativity, Henri Poincar\u00e9’s and Albert Einstein’s reformulation of simultaneity is considered a quasi-philosophical intervention, a move made possible by his dis-connection from the standard physics of the day. Meanwhile, Einstein’s engagement at the Patent Office (or Poincare1s in the Bureau of Longitude) enter the story as lowly day jobs, irrelevant to fundamental work on the nature of the world. I have argued, on the contrary, that the all-too material and the most abstract notions of time cross in essential ways. In a collaboration with the artist William Kentridge (\u201cThe Refusal of Time\u201d) we explored this intersection, pushing on history, physics, and philosophy into a more associative-imaginative register. From there, I will speak briefly about a new film I am completing, \u201cContainment,\u201d about the struggle to contain radioactive materials for a time equal to that of human history. This talk is an account of this complex of time problems at the boundary of art, physics and history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
