Physical Time in Perspective

Research output: Contribution to journal › Literature review

Abstract

Most people would probably agree that the obvious feature about time is that it progresses (or flows). However, our everyday experience of the apparent ï¿½dynamicï¿½ nature of time conflicts with the basic laws of physics which do not posit any passage of time. This clash between experience and fundamental physics has led a few physicists to develop theories of the universe in which timeï¿½s passage is an explicit feature. Two such theories are discussed along with a possible non-ï¿½dynamicï¿½ alternative.
