Editing Eternalism (philosophy of time) (section)

=== Quantum physics ===

Some philosophers appeal to a specific theory that is "timeless" in a more radical sense than the rest of physics, the theory of [[quantum gravity]]. This theory is used, for instance, in [[Julian Barbour]]'s theory of timelessness.<ref>{{cite book |last=Barbour |first=Julian |date=1999 |title=The End of Time |publisher=Oxford University Press |isbn=0195145925 }}</ref> On the other hand, George Ellis argues that time is absent in cosmological theories because of the details they leave out.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Ellis |first=George F.

Recently, Hrvoje Nikolić has argued that a block time model solves the [[black hole information paradox]].<ref>{{cite journal |last=Nikolić |first=Hrvoje |doi=10.1016/j.physletb.2009.06.029 |journal=Physics Letters B |title=Resolving the black-hole information paradox by treating time on an equal footing with space |volume=678 |issue=2 |pages= 218–221 |year=2009 |arxiv=0905.0538|bibcode=2009PhLB..678..218N |s2cid=15074164 }}</ref>
