The Importance of Relativity

If we accept the B theory of time and accept that the scientist has a real temporal dimension, then his ignorance and his knowledge are both just parts of him at different points along this temporal dimension. Viewed from outside of time, there would be no changing in the scientist's mind at all. We also need to remember that just because science uses a certain model to represent the world, it does not follow that something does not exist just because it's not in that model. Science just use. Such a silly inference is not what the sophisticated offenders of b-theoretic four-dimensionalist eternalism argue," he says.
