Hello everybody, welcome to a new episode of the Decenter. I'm your host, Riccardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Craig Callender. He is status Chancellor's Professor of Philosophy and founding faculty and co-director of the Institute for Practical Ethics at the University of California, San Diego. And today we're talking about the philosophy of physics with a focus on time.
and also uh how it compares to our intuitive model of time. So Dr. Callender, welcome to the show. It's a pleasure to have you one. Hi, thank you very much, Ricardo.
It's a pleasure. So before we get into the physics itself, uh just to talk a little bit about how we as humans uh intuit time. So we have this or we tend to have this model of time where We think about it as a flowing present that divides a fixed past from an open future. I mean, comparing it to physics or how we think about time in physics, I mean, how close is is it?
