Science has its doctrinaires and dogmatics, too. Still, although my arguments are based on an even more profound ignorance and misunderstanding of basic analysis and calculus, it does seem improbable that an explanation of time that expressed itself in the common terms of the human mind (especially language), however interesting it may be in a classical philosophical sense, would be sufficent as a scientific model. What interesting predictions follow from this new view? That said, I have not looked up the paper.
