Why time doesn't pass

from Philosopher's Zone · host Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Most of us experience time as something that passes, or flows like a river - or at least we think we do. Could it be that the sense of time passing is just an illusion? This week we're getting to grips with a theory of time that denies the reality of "flow" - and we're asking why time seems to speed up or slow down in certain situations. Guest: Heather Dyke, Associate Professor of Philosophy, University of Otago NZ Producer: David Rutledge Experience of Passage in a Static World - Heather Dyke at the London School of Economics, June 2017 This episode was first broadcast on July 30, 2023.
