Summary

Chapter 4 turns to the philosophical investigation into the nature of temporal experience, particularly whether the dynamic content of our temporal experience can be reconciled with the block universe model of temporal reality. Qureshi-Hurst argues that the supporter of the block universe has options, and the A-theorist’s argument from experience is not as powerful as they claim.
