  Time immemorial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Time immemorial is time extending beyond the reach of memory, record, or tradition.

The Court of Chivalry is said to have defined the period before 1066 as "time immemorial" for the purposes of heraldry.

 From Time Immemorial - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From Time Immemorial is an 1984 book by Joan Peters arguing that Jews had lived in and around Palestine since the dawn of recorded history.
Peters's book argues that at the same time that Jewish immigration to Palestine was rising, Arab immigration to the parts of Palestine where Jews had settled also increased.
From Time Immemorial later became the central issue in the Dershowitz-Finkelstein affair.

 God and the Beginning of Time   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
Now no coming to be of a thing is possible in an empty time, because no part of such a time possesses, as compared to any other, a distinguishing condition of existence rather than of non—existence; and this applies whether the thing is supposed to arise of itself or through some other cause.
Assuming the existence of a homogeneous time prior to the beginning of the world, a time whose moments are not distinguished by the occurrence of events, no reason can be given why the world should come to exist at one moment rather than another.
In such a time, there would be no earlier and later, no enduring through successive intervals and, hence no waiting, no temporal becoming, nothing but the eternal "now." This state would pass away in an instant, as a whole, not piecemeal, at the moment of creation, when metric time begins.

 20th WCP: Arrow of Time: Towards a New Epistemology of Science
Recently, it is claimed that these events can be understood comprehensively by means of a metaphor: the 'arrow of time.' The purpose of the present paper is twofold: (1) to build an epistemological structure that underlies the principle of time's arrow; and (2) to pursue the unity of science in a novel fashion.
Clock time is an idealized time-sense whereas social time is a real time-sense, based upon the presupposition of the distinction between past and future.
The meaning of these terms is that time is sliced into past, present and future and that it always pass from past to future and not in reverse way.

 Judge affirms Klamath Tribes' water right of time immemorial
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Owen M. Panner in Portland did not appear to have an immediate effect on the ongoing battle over water for fish and farms in the Klamath Basin, said tribal attorney Carl Ullman.
However, it reaffirms that the tribes have the oldest water right in the basin at a time when that was being challenged under a formal adjudication process to sort out competing claims for water, Ullman said.
And it confirms that the tribes have the right to water to support gathering, such as seeds from the wocus plant in basin marshes, as well as hunting and fishing, he said.

 Re: time out of mind, time immemorial
'Time out of mind,' recorded from the fifteenth century, is just the plain English version of the same thing.
Since the eighteenth century at least, 'time immemorial' has been used in much the same way as the 'Mists of time' and both expressions are now often used vaguely to mean little more than 'in the past.' Julia Cresswell, Penguin Dictionary of Clichés, 2000.

What is considered controversial in the book is her "new" demographic evidence that many of the Arabs who lived in Palestine when the state of Israel was established were recent immigrants, not descendants of longtime inhabitants.
Unlike the Egyptians and other ancient peoples, the Jews had not lived on their land "from time immemorial." According to the Bible, Abraham went up to a land that belonged to other people, the Canaanites.
Indeed, it is not until I Samuel that the phrase "land of Israel" occurs; the original biblical name is the "land of Canaan." Even in later texts the memory of this fact persists.

 Time and Aging, Neville Strumpf, HCGNE, Penn Humanities Forum
At the time that I wrote my dissertation, I concluded what I still believe holds true, namely, that no single theoretical perspective organizes the existing research on time and aging.
Time itself was clearly understood as "passing rapidly," but not yet "running out." Frequently chosen metaphors for time experience included phrases which implied a spiritual calmness and satisfaction, suggesting perhaps that well-being among the elderly is associated with a sense of timelessness.

From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine is a controversial book by Joan Peters published in 1984.
Peters concludes therefore that many of the "refugees" from the 1948 Arab-Israeli war were not native Palestinians, although she does not claim that these non-native persons represented a majority of the refugees.
The left wing critic and author Norman Finkelstein also dismissed the book by arguing in his book Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict that much of Peters' scholarship was fraudulent.

In 1984 a book by one Joan Peters was published, From Time Immemorial: The Origins of the Arab-Jewish Conflict over Palestine.
The thesis of this book is that when the state of Israel came into existence Palestine was largely unpopulated, except for a few Jews who had been there for many centuries; just a desert really, made to bloom by the ingenuity and hard work of Jews who subsequently arrived.
