Title: Time
Context: Einstein showed in his thought experiments that people travelling at different speeds, while agreeing on cause and effect, measure different time separations between events, and can even observe different chronological orderings between non-causally related events. Though these effects are typically minute in the human experience, the effect becomes much more pronounced for objects moving at speeds approaching the speed of light. Many subatomic particles exist for only a fixed fraction of a second in a lab relatively at rest, but some that travel close to the speed of light can be measured to travel farther and survive much longer than expected (a muon is one example). According to the special theory of relativity, in the high-speed particle's frame of reference, it exists, on the average, for a standard amount of time known as its mean lifetime, and the distance it travels in that time is zero, because its velocity is zero. Relative to a frame of reference at rest, time seems to "slow down" for the particle. Relative to the high-speed particle, distances seem to shorten. Einstein showed how both temporal and spatial dimensions can be altered (or "warped") by high-speed motion.

question: Who showed, in his thought experiments, that people travelling at different speeds measured time differently? 

answer: Einstein

question: In what case do these effects become much more noticeable? 

answer: for objects moving at speeds approaching the speed of light.

question: How long do most subatomic particles exist for in a lab? 

answer: a fixed fraction of a second

question: Einstein showed how what could be altered by high speed motion? 

answer: both temporal and spatial dimensions
Title: Time
Context: Time appears to have a direction—the past lies behind, fixed and immutable, while the future lies ahead and is not necessarily fixed. Yet for the most part the laws of physics do not specify an arrow of time, and allow any process to proceed both forward and in reverse. This is generally a consequence of time being modeled by a parameter in the system being analyzed, where there is no "proper time": the direction of the arrow of time is sometimes arbitrary. Examples of this include the Second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy must increase over time (see Entropy); the cosmological arrow of time, which points away from the Big Bang, CPT symmetry, and the radiative arrow of time, caused by light only traveling forwards in time (see light cone). In particle physics, the violation of CP symmetry implies that there should be a small counterbalancing time asymmetry to preserve CPT symmetry as stated above. The standard description of measurement in quantum mechanics is also time asymmetric (see Measurement in quantum mechanics).

Title: Time
Context: Stephen Hawking in particular has addressed a connection between time and the Big Bang. In A Brief History of Time and elsewhere, Hawking says that even if time did not begin with the Big Bang and there were another time frame before the Big Bang, no information from events then would be accessible to us, and nothing that happened then would have any effect upon the present time-frame. Upon occasion, Hawking has stated that time actually began with the Big Bang, and that questions about what happened before the Big Bang are meaningless. This less-nuanced, but commonly repeated formulation has received criticisms from philosophers such as Aristotelian philosopher Mortimer J. Adler.

question: In which publication does Hawking say that any events that existed before the Big Bang would not be accessible to us? 

answer: A Brief History of Time

question: Stephen Hawking makes a connection between time and what? 

answer: the Big Bang

answer: meaningless

question: Which philosopher has criticized Hawking's formulation? 

answer: Aristotelian philosopher Mortimer J. Adler
Title: Time
Context: While the Big Bang model is well established in cosmology, it is likely to be refined in the future. Little is known about the earliest moments of the universe's history. The Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems require the existence of a singularity at the beginning of cosmic time. However, these theorems assume that general relativity is correct, but general relativity must break down before the universe reaches the Planck temperature, and a correct treatment of quantum gravity may avoid the singularity.

question: The Big Bang model is solidly established in what? 

answer: cosmology

question: How much is known about the early states of the universe? 

answer: i

question: Which theorems require the existence of a singularity at the beginning of time? 

answer: The Penrose–Hawking singularity theorems

question: These theorems have to assume what theory is correct? 

answer: general relativity

question: These theorems state that general relatively must break down before what? 

answer: before the universe reaches the Planck temperature
Title: Time
Context: Time travel is the concept of moving backwards or forwards to different points in time, in a manner analogous to moving through space, and different from the normal "flow" of time to an earthbound observer. In this view, all points in time (including future times) "persist" in some way. Time travel has been a plot device in fiction since the 19th century. Traveling backwards in time has never been verified, presents many theoretic problems, and may be an impossibility. Any technological device, whether fictional or hypothetical, that is used to achieve time travel is known as a time machine.

question: How long has time travel been a topic in science fiction? 

answer: since the 19th century

question: Traveling which direction in time has never been verified and presents many problems? 

answer: backwards

question: A time machine is known as any technological devise that is used for what purpose? 

answer: to achieve time travel
Title: Time
Context: Another solution to the problem of causality-based temporal paradoxes is that such paradoxes cannot arise simply because they have not arisen. As illustrated in numerous works of fiction, free will either ceases to exist in the past or the outcomes of such decisions are predetermined. As such, it would not be possible to enact the grandfather paradox because it is a historical fact that your grandfather was not killed before his child (your parent) was conceived. This view doesn't simply hold that history is an unchangeable constant, but that any change made by a hypothetical future time traveler would already have happened in his or her past, resulting in the reality that the traveler moves from. More elaboration on this view can be found in the Novikov self-consistency principle.

question: What is another solution to the problem of temporal paradoxes? 

answer: paradoxes cannot arise simply because they have not arisen

question: In several works of fiction, what ceases to exist in the past which causes paradoxes not to arise? 

answer: free will

question: What paradox cannot be enacted because it is a fact that your grandfather was not killed before your parent was conceived? 

answer: the grandfather paradox

question: What principle elaborates more on the view described? 

answer: the Novikov self-consistency principle.
Title: Time
Context: Psychoactive drugs can impair the judgment of time. Stimulants can lead both humans and rats to overestimate time intervals, while depressants can have the opposite effect. The level of activity in the brain of neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine may be the reason for this. Such chemicals will either excite or inhibit the firing of neurons in the brain, with a greater firing rate allowing the brain to register the occurrence of more events within a given interval (speed up time) and a decreased firing rate reducing the brain's capacity to distinguish events occurring within a given interval (slow down time).

question: What type of drugs can impair the judgement of time? 

answer: Psychoactive drugs

question: Stimulants lead humans to overestimate what? 

answer: time intervals

question: What causes humans to underestimate time intervals? 

answer: depressants

question: The level of what is the reason stimulants and depressants change human perceptions of time? 

answer: The level of activity in the brain of neurotransmitters

question: Such chemicals do what to the firing of the brain's neurons? 

answer: either excite or inhibit the firing of neurons
Title: Time
Context: The use of time is an important issue in understanding human behavior, education, and travel behavior. Time-use research is a developing field of study. The question concerns how time is allocated across a number of activities (such as time spent at home, at work, shopping, etc.). Time use changes with technology, as the television or the Internet created new opportunities to use time in different ways. However, some aspects of time use are relatively stable over long periods of time, such as the amount of time spent traveling to work, which despite major changes in transport, has been observed to be about 20–30 minutes one-way for a large number of cities over a long period.

question: The use of time is important in understanding what? 

answer: human behavior, education, and travel behavior

question: What is a developing field of time related study? 

answer: Time-use research

question: Time use is always changing with advances in what? 

answer: technology

question: Travelling to work has been observed to be about how long for a large number of cities over a long period? 

answer: 20–30 minutes one-way
Title: Time
Context: A sequence of events, or series of events, is a sequence of items, facts, events, actions, changes, or procedural steps, arranged in time order (chronological order), often with causality relationships among the items. Because of causality, cause precedes effect, or cause and effect may appear together in a single item, but effect never precedes cause. A sequence of events can be presented in text, tables, charts, or timelines. The description of the items or events may include a timestamp. A sequence of events that includes the time along with place or location information to describe a sequential path may be referred to as a world line.

question: What may the description of events include? 

answer: a timestamp

question: What never precedes cause because of causality? 

answer: effect

question: A sequence of events used to describe a sequential path can be referred to as what? 

answer: a world line

question: In what ways can a sequence of events be presented? 

answer: in text, tables, charts, or timelines

question: What is another way of phrasing "time order"? 

answer: chronological order
Title: Time
Context: Uses of a sequence of events include stories, historical events (chronology), directions and steps in procedures, and timetables for scheduling activities. A sequence of events may also be used to help describe processes in science, technology, and medicine. A sequence of events may be focused on past events (e.g., stories, history, chronology), on future events that must be in a predetermined order (e.g., plans, schedules, procedures, timetables), or focused on the observation of past events with the expectation that the events will occur in the future (e.g., processes). The use of a sequence of events occurs in fields as diverse as machines (cam timer), documentaries (Seconds From Disaster), law (choice of law), computer simulation (discrete event simulation), and electric power transmission (sequence of events recorder). A specific example of a sequence of events is the timeline of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.

Title: European_Central_Bank
Context: The European Central Bank (ECB) is the central bank for the euro and administers monetary policy of the Eurozone, which consists of 19 EU member states and is one of the largest currency areas in the world. It is one of the world's most important central banks and is one of the seven institutions of the European Union (EU) listed in the Treaty on European Union (TEU). The capital stock of the bank is owned by the central banks of all 28 EU member states.[dated info] The Treaty of Amsterdam established the bank in 1998, and it is headquartered in Frankfurt, Germany. As of 2015[update] the President of the ECB is Mario Draghi, former governor of the Bank of Italy, former member of the World Bank, and former managing director of the Goldman Sachs international division (2002–2005).

Title: European_Central_Bank
Context: The first President of the Bank was Wim Duisenberg, the former president of the Dutch central bank and the European Monetary Institute. While Duisenberg had been the head of the EMI (taking over from Alexandre Lamfalussy of Belgium) just before the ECB came into existence, the French government wanted Jean-Claude Trichet, former head of the French central bank, to be the ECB's first president. The French argued that since the ECB was to be located in Germany, its president should be French. This was opposed by the German, Dutch and Belgian governments who saw Duisenberg as a guarantor of a strong euro. Tensions were abated by a gentleman's agreement in which Duisenberg would stand down before the end of his mandate, to be replaced by Trichet.

answer: Duisenberg would stand down before the end of his mandate, to be replaced by Trichet
Title: European_Central_Bank
Context: The primary objective of the European Central Bank, as laid down in Article 127(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, is to maintain price stability within the Eurozone. The Governing Council in October 1998 defined price stability as inflation of under 2%, “a year-on-year increase in the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices (HICP) for the euro area of below 2%” and added that price stability ”was to be maintained over the medium term”. (Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices) Unlike for example the United States Federal Reserve Bank, the ECB has only one primary objective but this objective has never been defined in statutory law, and the HICP target can be termed ad-hoc.

question: What is price stability defined as? 

answer: inflation of under 2%

question: What did the Harmonised Index of Consumer Prices state that price stability had to be maintained at? 

answer: over the medium term

question: When did the Governing Council define price stability? 

answer: October 1998

question: What is the primary goal of the ECB? 

answer: maintain price stability within the Eurozone

question: Where is the primary mission of the European Central Bank listed? 

answer: Article 127(1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union
Title: European_Central_Bank
Context: The banks in effect borrow cash and must pay it back; the short durations allow interest rates to be adjusted continually. When the repo notes come due the participating banks bid again. An increase in the quantity of notes offered at auction allows an increase in liquidity in the economy. A decrease has the contrary effect. The contracts are carried on the asset side of the European Central Bank's balance sheet and the resulting deposits in member banks are carried as a liability. In layman terms, the liability of the central bank is money, and an increase in deposits in member banks, carried as a liability by the central bank, means that more money has been put into the economy.[a]

question: What happens when a lot of repo notes come due? 

answer: increase in liquidity in the economy

question: What happens whe not as many repo notes are coming due? 

answer: contrary effect

question: What happens when members increase their deposits? 

answer: more money has been put into the economy

question: What is a good way to boost the economy? 

answer: increase in deposits in member banks

question: Where are contracts recorded? 

answer: on the asset side of the European Central Bank's balance sheet
Title: European_Central_Bank
Context: To qualify for participation in the auctions, banks must be able to offer proof of appropriate collateral in the form of loans to other entities. These can be the public debt of member states, but a fairly wide range of private banking securities are also accepted. The fairly stringent membership requirements for the European Union, especially with regard to sovereign debt as a percentage of each member state's gross domestic product, are designed to insure that assets offered to the bank as collateral are, at least in theory, all equally good, and all equally protected from the risk of inflation.

question: How does a bank make sure that they can participate in auctions? 

answer: must be able to offer proof of appropriate collateral in the form of loans to other entities

question: What kind of proof is acceptable for participation in auctions? 

answer: public debt of member states, but a fairly wide range of private banking securities are also accepted

question: What should all assets offered up as collateral be? 

answer: all equally good, and all equally protected from the risk of inflation

question: What must be a part of a states Gross Domestic Product in order for them to be considered for particpation in auctions? 

answer: sovereign debt
Title: European_Central_Bank
Context: The Executive Board is responsible for the implementation of monetary policy (defined by the Governing Council) and the day-to-day running of the bank. It can issue decisions to national central banks and may also exercise powers delegated to it by the Governing Council. It is composed of the President of the Bank (currently Mario Draghi), the Vice-President (currently Vitor Constâncio) and four other members. They are all appointed for non-renewable terms of eight years. They are appointed "from among persons of recognised standing and professional experience in monetary or banking matters by common accord of the governments of the Member States at the level of Heads of State or Government, on a recommendation from the Council, after it has consulted the European Parliament and the Governing Council of the ECB". The Executive Board normally meets every Tuesday.
