Paperback. Bradford Skow presents an original defense of the 'block universe' theory of time, often said to be a theory according to which time does not pass. He provides in-depth discussions of alternative theories, reconciles objective becoming with relativistic physics, and re-evaluates our 'experience' of the passage of time in relation to the argument.
