the A-theory of time against allegations of B-theorists that it is in conflict with the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) and the General Theory of Relativity (GTR).

The B-Theory of time, holds that the past, present, and future all exist, and are equally real, and there is nothing metaphysically special about the present, nor is it possible to absolutely establish where the present is…
