Friebe, Cord (Author)
Relativity allegedly contradicts presentism, the dynamic view of time and reality, according to which temporal passage is conceived of as an existentially distinguished `moving' now. Against this common belief, the paper motivates a presentist interpretation of spacetime: It is argued that the fundamental concept of time---proper time---cannot be characterized by the earlier-later relation, i.e., not in the B-theoretical sense. Only the presentist can provide a temporal understanding of the twins' paradox and of universes with closed timelike curves.
