A Model of the Universe: Space-Time, Probability, and Decision (Clarendon Library of Logic and Philosophy) - Softcover
Synopsis
Storrs McCall presents an original philosophical theory of the nature of the universe based on a striking new model of its space-time structure and argues that the fact that the model throws light on such a large number of problems constitutes strong evidence that the universe is as the model portrays it. An ambitious, controversial, and ingenious idea for a completely new metaphysical foundation for philosophy and physics, this book discusses a broad range of topics within the framework of the new theory, and will be of special interest to physicists for its original new interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Review
"This wide-ranging book is McCall's most complete elaboration and defense of his long-held branching model of the universe....McCall's defense of his thesis is elegantly and concisely written, clear in its organization and development, and impressive in its scope."--International Philosophical Quarterly
"Storrs McCall's book offers the best current theory of the objective flow of time"--Australasian Journal of Philosophy
