No longer true (ECAP)
Résumé
A common picture of the metaphysics of time has it that the past cannot change. For example, if it is now the case that Obama was born in 1961, it will never be the case that he was not born in 1961. A semantic consequence of this view is the following: (TP) Context-insensitive, temporally specific sentences about the past are truth-value-persistent. In this talk, Luca Barlassina and Fabio Del Prete presented a puzzle that challenges the common picture and its semantic consequence.
