O tempo-espaço: ficção, teoria e sociedade

This paper presents reflexions about time-space in three acts: fiction, theory and society. The first act is a narration about a meeting that occurs in Y-7 Spatial Station about the phenomenon of life, contextualised in two theories: life as a factor of universe and life as a posterior phenomenon. In the second act, time and space are described as time-space unity - and some elements are offered in order to provide a better understanding of such an unity. In the third act there is an analysis about time-space and its relation to social and organizational phenomenon. It is argued that paradigmatic rupture in time and space conception occurred in the physical field, and reflected in social order, opened new horizons in society organization, individual and collective behavior and new cultural parameters. Perhaps what will define better the process of transformation in the next decades is a permanent evolution, without transition, a continuing succession of technology, behavior and ways of life, in one word, an ever new time-space.
