Universal present hypothesis
Position
1
#116008
There is an objective present moment. Furthermore the present is not agent-relative, but is a property of the universe. This accords with the passage view of time.

The Arrow of Time
The Arrow of Time ☜A map exploring some issues concerning the nature of time that lie at the boundary of physics and philosophy. The map follows up a talk to the Blackheath Philosophy Forum on 2 April 2011 by Huw Price, Professor of Philosophy and director of the Center for Time at Sydney University.☜F1CEB7

The experience of time
The experience of time☜This branch of the map considers the phenomenology of time - the various ways in which time presents itself directly to our consciousness. Why do we think time has the features indicated by the passage view? The answers will hopefully enable us to connect the phenomenological to the physical.☜FFB597

Passage view components »
Passage view components
Passage view components☜The passage view refers to three aspects of how we perceive time - that it flows, has a direction and that there is a distinguished present moment - and claims that each corresponds to a feature of the real world. These matters are considered in this part of the map.☜FFB597

Distinguished present moment? »
Distinguished present moment?
Distinguished present moment?☜We perceive that we live in a distinguished present moment, ontologically distinct from the past and future. But what - phenomenally speaking - do we mean by the present? Can this be expressed without introducing circularity by the use of tensed terms like now?☜FFB597

What we perceive directly
What we perceive directly☜The present is the reality we perceive directly, as distinct from events we remember or anticipate. Note that it is not claimed that the present is what we perceive NOW - it is what we see simpliciter, unmediated by memory.☜59C6EF

Argument from relativity »
Argument from relativity
Argument from relativity☜The Special Theory of Relativity implies that what is perceived directly will not coincide for different observers in relative motion. Therefore it precludes a unique ontological division of spacetime.☜EF597B
