A vs B Theory of Time in Philosophy

In philosophy, the A theory holds that there is an objective distinction between past, present, and future, and time flows dynamically. On the other hand, the B theory denies these claims, stating that there is no mind-independent distinction between past, present, and future. The B theory explains events in terms of relational features, with past events being earlier than references and future events occurring later. Additionally, the B theory rejects the idea that time flows or is dynamic, leading to ongoing discussions in the philosophy of time to explain the human experience of time's passage without requiring a robust flow of time from future to present to past.
