Does Time Really Flow?

Physicist Nicolas Gisin proposes that the "block universe" concept is based on the physical impossibility of infinite precision, suggesting "intuitionist mathematics" as a way to restore the reality of time's passage.

Does Time Really Flow? New Clues Come From a Century-Old Approach to Math.
The laws of physics imply that the passage of time is an illusion. To avoid this conclusion, we might have to rethink the reality of infinitely precise numbers.
