The authors have presented an unpublished manuscript by Nikolai Aleksandrovich Bernstein written in the form of a diary in 1949. Bernstein focused on the concept of time as a coordinate in four-dimensional space and discussed a variety of issues, including the definition of time, its measurement, time travel, asymmetry of the past and future, and even linguistics. In particular, he offered a definition of life tightly linked to the concept of time. Overall, this manuscript offers a glimpse into Bernstein's thinking, his sense of humor, and his sarcasm, intimately coupled with the very serious attitude to scientific discourse.
作者呈现了尼古拉·亚历山德罗维奇·伯恩斯坦（Nikolai Aleksandrovich Bernstein）在 1949 年以日记形式撰写的一篇未发表的手稿。伯恩斯坦专注于时间作为四维空间中的一个坐标的概念，并讨论了各种问题，包括时间的定义、测量、时间旅行、过去和未来的不对称性，甚至语言学。特别是，他为生命提供了一个与时间概念紧密相关的定义。总的来说，这份手稿让我们一窥伯恩斯坦的思维、他的幽默感和讽刺意味，与对科学论述的严肃态度紧密交织在一起。
