Presentism in a World Denied Instantaneous Signals [PDF]
, 2011 The special theory of relativity (STR) is widely regarded as the primary threat to the otherwise intuitive presentist worldview. In particular, both the relativity and conventionality of simultaneity within STR appear to undermine presentism and support

Relativity as Support for Presentism: A Modest Evidential Argument [PDF]
, 2013 Presentism is roughly the view that only the present exists. This view requires an absolute simultaneity relation. The special theory of relativity, however, is highly successful and does not account for absolute simultaneity.

Pre-stimulus beta and gamma oscillatory power predicts perceived audiovisual simultaneity
, 2016 Pre-stimulus oscillation activity in the brain continuously fluctuates, but it is correlated with subsequent behavioral and perceptual performance. Here, using fast Fourier transformation of pre-stimulus electroencephalograms, we explored how oscillatory

Matter or geometry as fundamental in relativity theory: How not to teach special relativity [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, I review a number of interpretational frameworks for relativistic phenomena like length contraction and relativity of simultaneity. Of central focus is the book Physical Relativity by Harvey Brown, where Brown advocates a view in which ...

Simultaneity in event structures
, 2010 Various brand of event structures, prime, bundle, flow, asymmetric, inhibitor just to mention some, have been proposed to face the various kinds of causality and conflict arising in computation.

, 2007 I develop Special Relativity with backward-light-cone simultaneity, which I call, for reasons made clear in the paper, 'Apparent Simultaneity'. In the first section I show some advantages of this approach.

The effects of subthreshold synchrony on the perception of simultaneity.
, 2007 We aimed to examine the effects of subthreshold synchrony and asynchrony on the perception of simultaneity. We rendered simultaneous or asynchronous luminance changes below detection thresholds by embedding them in a sequence of rapidly onsetting ...

Assessment of the experimental support for differential simultaneity [PDF]
The Lorentz transformation describes differential simultaneity, which reflects the offsetting of time with distance between reference frames. Differential simultaneity is essential for Lorentz invariance.
