Letter: Time, or no time

Published 12 March 2008

From Peter Fyfe

Those theorising about the possibility of time travel (9 February, p 32) should have a quick chat with those theorising time doesn’t exist (19 January, p 26), who appear to agree with the old mystic philosophers in questioning the ontological status of any time but the present.

After all, spending a lot of effort travelling to a “then” only to discover it’s still “now” would be terribly disappointing.
