What if Time Exists?

Sean Caroll (of Cosmic Variance) on what if time exists? Basically considers QM conceptions of time (Presentism) as accurate and reaches a Heraclitean conclusion. (I’m sure Blake will like this essay)

Yup, you’re right Clark, I really liked the essay. If nothing else it shows how QM, string theory and a relativized theory of eternal time work together. I believe we’re on the cusp of a paradigm shift in the books about the “beginning” of the universe.

Note though that he explicitly raises the problem of GR and a final theory.
