27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 1. Nature of Time / g. Growing block

22936 A-series time positions are contradictory, and yet all events occupy all of them! [McTaggart, by Le Poidevin]

22935 The B-series can be inferred from the A-series, but not the other way round [McTaggart, by Le Poidevin]
7802 A-series uses past, present and future; B-series uses 'before' and 'after' [McTaggart, by Girle]
4230 A-series expressions place things in time, and their truth varies; B-series is relative, and always true [McTaggart, by Lowe]
