Scientific paper

The meaning of time and motion is discussed, at first tracing conceptual changes from Aristotle to Galileo/Newton to Einstein. Different views of ‘time’ in 20th century physics are then examined, with primary focus on the revolutionary changes that came with the theory of general relativity. Implications of its new view in all domains of physics are discussed — from elementary particles to cosmology. The special role of Hamilton's quaternion calculus in equations of motion in general relativity is shown.
