This project aims to explore the connection between theories of time and timelessness in metaphysics and physics, and our lived experience as agents. The story of our lives is one that unfolds through time; ever changing and updating as we add to the store of memories through which we understand our past selves, and our store of intentions, through which we shape our future selves. Yet there is disagreement about the nature of time: about what time is and whether, in fact, it really exists at all. The project will look to determine what structure the temporal dimension must have if it is to support agents like us, and whether, if there is no temporal dimension, as some physicists suggest, we can make any sense of our lived experience.

该项目旨在探索形而上学和物理学的时间与永恒的理论与我们作为代理商的生活经验之间的联系。我们生活的故事是随着时间的流逝而发展的。当我们添加到回忆的存储中时，我们不断地改变和更新，我们了解了我们过去的自我以及我们的意图存储，我们可以塑造我们的未来自我。然而，时间的本质存在分歧：几点是什么时候，实际上它是否真的存在。该项目将旨在确定如果像我们这样的代理人支持代理商，以及如果某些物理学家建议，我们是否可以对我们的生活经验有任何意义。
