Sinossi
What does it mean that the present always changes? Are the future and the past as real as the present? Our intuitions seem to clash with our best scientific theories: as Einstein famously said, after the Theory of Relativity the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. But then, if we do really live in a Block Universe, why do we experience time as passing? Eternalism is often dismissed as too 'static' to capture the lived phenomenology of temporal flow. In this book, the author offers a metaphysical defense of Eternalism, together with a detailed account of how the passage of time might be experienced within a Block Universe.
