Does SR enable the passage of time.
Rietdjik(1967)-Putnam(1968)-Penrose-Maxwell and others, claim that SR proves Eternalism.
That is; the world is an eternal (a-temporal) 4-dimensional spacetime manifold in which all events exist and the notion of a moving Now (a global hyper-surface of simultaneous "now events") moving into the future is a psychological illusion.
Is that physically substantial or just philosophically?
