<title>Physics vs. philosophy: What is time</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A very complete discussion:&amp;#13;&amp;#10;http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22029410.900-saving-time-physics-killed-it-do-we-need-it-back.html?page=1#.VMvWAGA5C1s-Fantastical as it seems, for most physicists today the universe is just like that. We might think of time flowing from a real past into a not-yet-real future, but our current theories of space and time teach us that past, present and future are all equally real - and fundamentally indistinguishable. Any sense that our &amp;quot;now&amp;quot; is somehow special, or that time flows past it, is an illusion we create in our heads &amp;#13;&amp;#10;Physics, in fact, has killed time as we know it. The question is: do we need it back?-Several approaches. Which if any is correct?</p>
