When we go beyond the earth into the realm of the stars all efforts toward understanding the ranges of space or the durations of time are quite beyond the efforts of man.
We may accept it as impossible for any one to deal with such vast durations save with figures which are never really comprehended.
There is no absolute time; to say two durations are equal is an assertion which has by itself no meaning and which can acquire one only by convention.
The representation in drawing of the laws of the motion of the projectile, the trajectory, inclinations, remaining velocities, durations of the passage.
Relations between the velocities, the spaces traversed, and the durations of passage in the rectilinear movement of projectiles.
He gives many examples to prove that these mystic numbers determine the durations of empires and underlie historical chronology.
He enumerates the durations of the lives of many famous men, to show that they can be expressed by powers of 7 and 9, or the product of these numbers.
The cause of this constant error in the mode of reproducing durations seems to be connected with the very nature of the reproductive act.
Duration, as distinct from things, is a pure imagination; the relation of durations is therefore a relation of beings.
True, in this relation of durations we discover only succession, and not intrinsic dependence; but this dependence, though not known intuitively, is represented in the very connection in which we conceive beings in duration.
These durations diminish from the maximum at the middle of the track to zero at the northern and southern limits of it, so that an observer must be stationed as near the central line as possible in order to see much of the eclipse.
Vyasa's answer is taken up with assigning limits to the successive periods of Creation and Non-existence, or the durations of Brahman's wakeful and sleeping periods.
After this, O king, listen to me as I tell thee durations of time as indicated by the learned in respect of these principles or attribute.
The durations and issues of war depend on the will of God.
Their backgrounds, training, fees, and durations of treatment vary considerably.
Another purpose of this book is to clarify these labels, to describe how the approaches used by their practitioners are distinct and how they are similar, and to give an idea of how their fees and durations of treatment vary.
The absence of maximum and minimum durations does not exhaust the properties of nature which make up its continuity.
Now a duration has within itself a past and a future; and the temporal breadths of the immediate durations of sense-awareness are very indeterminate and dependent on the individual percipient.
The durations which enter into the composition of a moment all belong to one family.
There are durations of the same family as the given duration which overlap it but are not contained in it.
Thus in the special case of durations which are now the only events directly under consideration, every duration is part of other durations; and every duration has other durations which are parts of it.
Thus the first two cases may be combined into one and we can say that two durations which belong to the same family either are such that there are durations which are parts of both or are completely separate.
Each such point indicates a certain quality of absolute position in reference to the durations of the family associated with α, and thence in reference to the successive instantaneous spaces lying in the successive moments of α.
The instantaneous spaces of a given time-system are the ideal (non-existent) durations of zero temporal thickness indicated by routes of approximation along series formed by durations of the associated family.
The identification of the same physical object as being situated in distinct events in distinct durations is effected by the condition of continuity.
When twodurations belong to the same family either one contains the other, or they overlap each other in a subordinate duration without either containing the other; or they are completely separate.
A moment is a limit to which we approach as we confine attention to durations of minimum extension.
Again other moments of the family are such that the shorter durations in their composition are parts of the given duration.
This possible identity of the durations in the case of the sense-awareness of distinct minds is what binds into one nature the private experiences of sentient beings.
For the parts either of the end duration or of the limit would be parts of all the durations of the set and thus the second condition for the set would be violated.
The only differences which subsist are necessarily those due to the considerable discrepancy which exists between the durations of the periods of these two categories of waves.
Had the durations of oscillation been different, it might be concluded that the mechanical mass is not the same for radium as for barium.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "durations" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
