Conclusion

Abstract

Here I summarize the foregoing arguments and discuss their implications for our overall conception of time and its passing. The idea that we “experience” global nows and their passing, I have argued, is simply unfounded. Time flow is a local phenomenon: it is the becoming of events out of those in their recent past, and not tied to an advancing global now.
