Time Travel and Becoming
The Monist 88 (3):413-422 (2005)
Abstract
I wish to discuss a supposed implication of one sort of time travel. The sort of time travel is time travel into one’s past along a closed timelike curve. The implication is that in spacetimes with CTCs there can be no temporal passage or “flow” of time. I will argue that the implication does not hold.Author's Profile
