A Tenth of a Second pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2024
In the late fifteenth century, clocks acquired minute hands. A century later, second hands appeared. But it wasn’t until the 1850s that instruments could recognize a tenth of a second, and, once they did, the impact on modern science and society was profound. Revealing the history behind this infinitesimal interval, A Tenth of a Second sheds new light on modernity and illuminates the work of important thinkers of the last two centuries.
Tracing debates about the nature of time, causality, and free will, as well as the introduction of modern technologies—telegraphy, photography, cinematography—Jimena Canales locates the reverberations of this “perceptual moment” throughout culture. Once scientists associated the tenth of a second with the speed of thought, they developed reaction time experiments with lasting implications for experimental psychology, physiology, and optics. Astronomers and physicists struggled to control the profound consequences of results that were a tenth of a second off. And references to the interval were part of a general inquiry into time, consciousness, and sensory experience that involved rethinking the contributions of Descartes and Kant.
Considering its impact on much longer time periods and featuring appearances by Henri Bergson, Walter Benjamin, and Albert Einstein, among others, A Tenth of a Second is ultimately an important contribution to history and a novel perspective on modernity.

評分這是一本想用最小的時間單位來書寫一整個時代的書,就真的好棒。19世紀科學實驗過程中發現人對外界刺激進行反應時,會有一個時間差。在作者對現代性的敘事中,這個時間差改變瞭笛卡爾、康德式的思考人:思考需要時間,是存在於時間和身體中的。同理視覺也變得受製於身體的時間性。攝影和電影的前身進入科學實驗,不是因為它生來就和人眼視覺相似,而是為瞭糾正人眼視覺無法避免的誤差。所以從某種意義上來說,這個時間差把時間本身的可再現性變成瞭一個問題,從而也撬動瞭再現的邊界。我們不斷嘗試把人眼未必能見到的圖像解讀為真實的再現,因而賦予瞭攝影客觀性的特質。
