Old Star

In Book 11 of St. Augustine’s Confessions, he ruminates on the nature of time, asking, „What then is time? If no one asks me, I know: if I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.“ He settles on time being defined more by what it is not than what it is.[14] Newton believed time and space form a container for events, which is as real as the objects it contains.
Absolute, true, and mathematical time, in and of itself and of its own nature, without reference to anything external, flows uniformly and by another name is called duration. Relative, apparent, and common time is any sensible and external measure (precise or imprecise) of duration by means of motion; such a measure – for example, an hour, a day, a month, a year – is commonly used instead of true time.

In contrast to Newton’s belief in absolute space, and closely related to Kantian time, Leibniz believed that time and space are a conceptual apparatus describing the interrelations between events.[citation needed] The differences between Leibniz’s and Newton’s interpretations came to a head in the famous Leibniz-Clarke Correspondence. Leibniz thought of time as a fundamental part of an abstract conceptual framework, together with space and number, within which we sequence events, quantify their duration, and compare the motions of objects. In this view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that „flows,“ that objects „move through,“ or that is a „container“ for events.




Immanuel Kant, in the Critique of Pure Reason, described time as an a priori intuition that allows us (together with the other a priori intuition, space) to comprehend sense experience.[16] With Kant, neither space nor time are conceived as substances, but rather both are elements of a systematic mental framework necessarily structuring the experiences of any rational agent, or observing subject. Spatial measurements are used to quantify how far apart objects are, and temporal measurements are used to quantify how far apart events occur.
In Existentialism, time is considered fundamental to the question of being,[citation needed] in particular by the philosopher Martin Heidegger.[citation needed] See Ontology.
Henri Bergson believed that time was neither a real homogeneous medium nor a mental construct, but possesses what he referred to as Duration. Duration, in Bergson’s view, was creativity and memory as an essential component of reality.

Brad PitT World

In 1998, Pitt met Friends actress Jennifer Aniston and married her at an enclosed wedding ceremony in Malibu on July 29, 2000. The couple were adamant that the ceremony would be a private affair and hired hundreds of guards to block out any attempts of invasion by the paparazzi. Only one media picture was ever released of the wedding. Not long after the wedding, Pitt sued Damiani International, the company which made the wedding ring he gave Jennifer Aniston, for selling replica „Brad and Jennifer“ rings. According to Pitt, the ring was his design and was to be exclusive. Under the settlement reached in January 2002, Pitt would design jewelry for Damiani that Aniston would model in ads, and the company would stop selling the copies.
Though their marriage was, for years, considered the rare Hollywood success, rumors of trouble began circulating, and the Pitts announced their separation on January 7, 2005. As Pitt’s marriage to Jennifer Aniston drew to a close, he and Angelina Jolie were involved in a well-publicized Hollywood scandal in which Jolie was often painted as the „other woman,“ largely due to their chemistry during the filming of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. While Jolie and Pitt both denied any claims of adultery, speculations continued to mount throughout 2004 and early 2005. In an interview with Ann Curry in June 2005, Jolie explained, „To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.“[13]
The concept of a „troubled marriage“ (and arguably his own) inspired Pitt to cooperate with Steven Klein for a photoshoot in early 2005 entitled „Domestic Bliss“ for W magazine. The spread showed Pitt and Angelina Jolie as a 1963 married couple with children. Pitt expressed the desire to tell a darker, truer tale, one that explored the „unidentifiable malaise“ that often haunts a seemingly happy couple. „You don’t know what’s wrong,“ he remarked, „because the marriage is everything you signed up for.“[14] For her part, Aniston later cited the shoot as evidence that Pitt has „a sensitivity chip that’s missing.“[15]
Aniston filed for a divorce on March 25 the same year. The divorce was finalized on October 2, 2005.



Relationship with Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie
Speculation of a relationship between the two began to be confirmed with the first private paparazzi photos of Jolie and Pitt emerged April 9, 2005 (and were reportedly bought for $500,000). They showed Pitt, Jolie and her son Maddox at a beach in Kenya. During the summer, the pair were seen together with increasing frequency, and the entertainment media dubbed the couple „Brangelina“. Two months later, the highly-anticipated July 2005 issue of W magazine hit newsstands, featuring Pitt and Jolie posed as a married couple.
In July 2005 he accompanied Jolie to Ethiopia,[16] where Jolie adopted a six-month-old girl named Zahara;[17] later Jolie indicated that she and Pitt made the decision to adopt the girl together.[18] In December 2005 it was confirmed that Pitt was seeking to legally adopt Jolie’s two children as his (as part of legal requirements), classified advertisements in the Los Angeles paper Daily Commerce announcing the name change request.[19][20] On January 19, 2006, a judge in California approved this request. The children’s legal surnames were formally changed to „Jolie-Pitt“.[21] During a charity trip to Haiti with Wyclef Jean, rumors began to circulate that Jolie was pregnant. On January 11, 2006 Jolie confirmed to People magazine that she was pregnant with Pitt’s child.[22] On May 27, 2006, Jolie gave birth to a daughter, named Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, at the Cottage Medi-Clinic Hospital in Swakopmund, Namibia by the couple’s Los Angeles obstetrician, assisted by local staff. Pitt confirmed that their newborn daughter would have a Namibian passport.[23] Public interest in the child was immense. In an August 2006 survey, 41 percent of participating 18 to 24-year-old American adults correctly identified that the couple had named their baby Shiloh.[24] Jolie decided to offer the first pictures of Shiloh through the distributor Getty Images herself, rather than allowing paparazzi to take these extremely valuable snapshots. People magazine paid more than $4.1 million for the North American rights, while British magazine Hello! obtained the international rights for roughly $3.5 million; the total rights sale earned up to $10 million worldwide – the most expensive celebrity image of all time.[25] Jolie and Pitt donated all the earnings to an undisclosed charity. On July 26, 2006 Madame Tussauds of New York unveiled a wax figure of two-month-old Shiloh; it is the first infant re-created in wax by Madame Tussauds.[26]
Pitt and Jolie are not married. In 2006, Pitt said, „Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able
