Balashov, Yuri and Janssen, Michel (2002) Presentism and Relativity. [Preprint]
Abstract
In this critical notice we argue against William Craig's recent attempt to reconcile presentism (roughly, the view that only the present is real) with relativity theory. Craig�s defense of his position boils down to endorsing a �neo-Lorentzian interpretation� of special relativity. We contend that his reconstruction of Lorentz�s theory and its historical development is fatally flawed and that his arguments for reviving this theory fail on many counts.
