ABSTRACT

I have not yet shown that nothing in reality is past, present or future, i.e. that there are no A-facts. I have shown only that B-facts can make any A-proposition true when it is true. My B-theory of the presence of experience depended on this thesis, as will my later case against A-facts. The thesis is essential to any B-theory of time and so must be rightly understood. Yet while simple enough, and not new, it is still often misconstrued. In particular, three obvious falsehoods are often inferred from it, which I must therefore show that it does not in fact entail.
