Eternalism and Perspectival Realism about the 'Now'

论文摘要
永恒主义是所有时间都同样真实的观点。特殊相对论中同时性的相对性支持了这一点。没有宇宙扩展，自我存在的“现在”。这导致了一个棘手的问题。是什么使现在的陈述是正确的？我将按照观点现实主义的态度解决问题，并认为观点的选择确实如此。为了证实这一点，将特殊相对论的洛伦兹转化与多普勒效应的结构相似方程进行了比较。 “现在”在透视上是真实的，其方式与特定的电磁频谱频率相同。我还认为，在这种情况下，由观点现实主义许可的时间的本体论比其当前的替代方案（碎片主义对特殊相对论的解释）更可信。
Eternalism is the view that all times are equally real. The relativity of simultaneity in special relativity backs this up. There is no cosmically extended, self-existing 'now'. This leads to a tricky problem. What makes statements about the present true? I shall approach the problem along the lines of perspectival realism and argue that the choice of the perspective does. To corroborate this point, the Lorentz transformations of special relativity are compared to the structurally similar equations of the Doppler effect. The 'now' is perspectivally real in the same way as a particular electromagnetic spectrum frequency. I also argue that the ontology of time licensed by perspectival realism is more credible in this context than its current alternative, the fragmentalist interpretation of special relativity.
