| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
I clarified that presentism, which is the view that only present is real, cannot be held according to the modern physics. This result appears on the Annals of Japan Association for Philosophy of Science. Furthermore, I also clarified what the phrase 'passage of time' exactly means and how to express the direction of time. This result appears on Gendai Shisou.
