Abstract
- First, the traditional debates on time: In 1927, J. M. E. McTaggart notably defended a "static time" interpretation of SR by pointing to what he considered as a fundamental paradox in any flowing time rendition: Past, present and future are incompatible determinations. Prof. Saulson begins with the fact that the light cone in SR that accompanies an event P in spacetime divides the world into the causal future, the causal past, and the acausal elsewhere.
