Today's science provides quite a lean picture of time as a mere geometric evolution parameter. I argue that time is much richer. In particular, I argue that besides the geometric time, there is creative time, when objective chance events happen. The existence of the latter follows straight from the existence of free-will. Following the french philosopher Lequyer, I argue that free-will is a prerequisite for the possibility to have rational argumentations, hence can't be denied. Consequently, science can't deny the existence of creative time and thus that time really passes.

  1. The extended Wigner's friend, many- and single-worlds and reasoning from observation

    Subjective collapse views fail in the extended Wigner's friend scenario, but single-world interpretations remain possible if observations are protected from quantum erasure.
