The End of Time?

arXiv:gr-qc/0103055

Abstract

I discuss J. Barbour's Machian theories of dynamics, and his proposal that a Machian perspective enables one to solve the problem of time in quantum geometrodynamics (by saying that there is no time). I concentrate on his recent book 'The End of Time' (1999).

48 pages Latex. A shortened version will appear in 'The British Journal for Philosophy of Science'
