Time and space

My interest in time and space mainly concerns the relationship between conscious experience and physical spacetime, as understood by our best science.

In this paper, I argue that a subjective appearance of temporal succession doesn’t require a succession of conscious states in physical time, and in this paper, I argue that the phenomenology of our experiences of change does not weigh for or against any metaphysical theory of change (presentist, four-dimensionalist, etc).

In general, I think that the phenomenological facts, such as those revealed to us by introspection, are compatible with every theory of time (or spacetime), including the theory that there is no such thing as time. I argue for this at length in the first half of Sensorama.
