    What is clear, though, is that there is no direct argument from experience to the A-theory, since the present of experience, being temporally extended and concerning the past, is very different from the objective present postulated by the A-theory. Further, it cannot be taken for granted that the objective passage of time would explain whatever it is that the experience as-of time’s passage is supposed to amount to.
