Human life revolves around the division of time into past, present and future; people will not relinquish these categories just because physicists say they are discredited . . .

In their professional lives most physicists accept without question the concept of the timescape, but away from work they act like everybody else, basing their thoughts and actions on the assumption of a moving present moment.
