| ABSOLUTE SIMULTANEITY AND THE INFINITY OF TIME (11741 words) |
 | The theory of absolute presentness, rather than the theory of a tenseless, verificationist and relativist time, is the philosophy of time that arguably belongs to the philosophical part of physics. |
| We thus require a definition of simultaneity such that this definition supplies us with the method by means of which, in the present case [where two lightning strokes hit near the front and back of a train], he can decide by experiment whether or not both the lightning strokes occurred simultaneously. |
| My argument for absolute simultaneity and the infinity of past and future time hinges on the admittedly controversial assumption that there are some abstract objects whose existence is not dependent on the existence of any concrete object. |
