Cosmic History and Time’s Arrow.
Kleban began by outlining what we know of the cosmological history of the universe. He discussed theories of the big bang - whether it was the “beginning” of time, or whether there were events that preceded it - and their implications for the ultimate fate of the universe. Lastly, he also discussed the “arrow” of time - why there is a difference between past and future - and how this difference relates to cosmology.

Playing with Time in Chemistry.
Technological developments allowing us to observe molecules in real time were summarized. Along the way, several examples of how we play with time in chemistry were presented.

Constructing Time In Physics - Attempts.
How physicists have been attempting to come to grips with the experience of a time and it's flow. This will involve glimpses at the concepts discovered and developed to study large and small time scales. Such ideas includes Unified theories and String theory. This lecture were at a popular level while touching upon basic problems in Physics.

Adjustment to temporal cycles and the dangers of disrupted biological rhythms.
Organisms living on Earth are exposed to geographical cycles which require rhythmic adjustments in behavior and physiology in order to anticipate these cyclic changes. In this talk temporal cycles and their impact on individuals were discussed, as well as the mechanisms that allow temporal adaptation. Next, the relevance of a correct synchrony between the biological timing and the external cycles were discussed as a factor for health and wellbeing. Finally experimental models for temporal disruption were presented and the results obtained with such models indicating the loss of homeostasis and of behavioral adaptation.

Earth's time and the Anthropocene.
Tiago Quental - "The dynamics and drivers of biodiversity in geological time"
The history of biodiversity is characterized by a recurrent extinction of species and by a continual replacement of different branches in the tree of life. This replacement dynamics is ultimately determined by changes in speciation and extinction rates. The fossil record offers an unprecedented opportunity to understand the deep time history of biodiversity because it directly preserves this unfolding dynamics. Quental presented how we can use the fossil record of mammals to discuss the history of biodiversity and the potential factors that might drive changes in speciation and extinction rates at a geological time scale.
Luiz Gylvan Meira Filho - "Time scales of and climate change"
Climate is defined as the statistics of the variables that describe the instantaneous state of the climate system (atmosphere, oceans and biosphere). The use of proxy variables allows us to retrace the history of the main climate variables as far back as 70 million years before present. A summary of our present knowledge were presented, showing variability of climate in all time scales.

Concepts of time across the cultures: an anthropological view.
What people understand by “time” – if an equivalent to the english term exists at all – is always culturally embedded. How time is conceptualized depends strongly from each society’s mode of production and forms also a central part of its religious worldview. In this talk, Kohl compared the linear time concept of modern industrial societies to the time concepts of early agrarian, pastoral and hunter-gatherer societies to show the differences as well as some surprising similarities.

Circadian clock: Chronometry of living organism to live on the Earth.
As we depend on mechanical/electrical clock, living organisms have accurate chronometer in the cells to fit their life to the 24 hour cycle in environment of the Earth. Kondo reported recent progress of the biochronometry and discuss it with chronometer that our industry developed to understand a principle of time of the day.
