One Second per Second Multiplied by One Second
Claudio Mazzola
Sažetak
Detractors of temporal passage often argue that it is meaningless to say that time passes or flows, else time would have to pass at a rate of one second per second, which is in fact not a rate but a number, namely one. Several attempts have been recently made to avoid this conclusion, by retorting that one second per second is in fact not identical to one. This paper shows that this kind of reply is not satisfactory, because it demands a substantive revision of the algebraic behaviour of quantities.
