Hard engineering like concrete barriers and levees has long been the bulwark of flood management in other places, but such technology has a finite existence and cannot always weather a storm, he noted.
Let's assume, though, that we all have a set number of days to indent the world with our beliefs, to find and create the beauty that only a finite existence allows for, to wrestle with the question of purpose and wrestle with our answers.
She can transform something as prosaic as a box of lightbulbs into a meditation on our finite existence, with their wattage engineered to match moonlight and their lifespan of 66 years reflecting that of the average human.
Also, by (3.12), (C_{varphi_{t}}) is bounded on (A_{alpha}^{2}(Pi ^)) if and only if ((varphi_{t})_{gamma}(1)=1), ((varphi _{t})_{gamma}'(1)) exists finitely, which is equivalent to the finite existence of (anglelim_{wrightarrow1}frac{widetilde {G}(w)}{1-w}), (winmathbf{D}), by [17], Theorem 1, where G̃ is the infinitesimal generator of the one-parameter semigroup ({ varphi_{t})_{gamma}}_{tgeq0}).
In the series, a meteor looms toward earth, projected to impact in five years (or seasons): the doomed cast is left to reconcile their finite existence while waiting out the days.
Affective self-positing, not Heidegger's Dasein with its projective temporality, would offer the purest and most concrete access possible to our finite existence.
The ground is now increasingly regarded as the source of the transitory nature of everything particular, and less and less as the source of tranquil insight into how we can be reconciled to finite existence.
It is easy to see, however, how Absolute idealism threatens those very ideals it is supposed to defend, since it denies that finite existence is truly real and downgrades it to 'a show of some fuller splendor.' If reality is a single unified totality, what is the individual self?
But we would be wiser to acknowledge our finite existence and to make the reality of our brief time on earth a guide to how to live.
As usual for this type of blow-up result similar in spirit to the classical Keller-Segel model for chemotaxis [26, 27], the proof only ensures that solutions for those initial data do not exist beyond a finite maximal time of existence.
Has the universe come into existence a finite time ago?
