Classical and intuitionistic mathematical languages shape our understanding of time in physics

Abstract

Physics is formulated in terms of timeless classical mathematics. A formulation on the basis of intuitionist mathematics, built on time-evolving processes, would offer a perspective that is closer to our experience of physical reality.
