Authors’ Abstract

• "Van Inwagen (Peter) - Changing the Past"’s (2009) discussion of time travel invokes both hypertime and the growing block theory to provide us with a model for changing the past that is both rigorous and ingenious.
• We are impressed. But we are not yet convinced. In this essay, we present three potential objections for van Inwagen’s model (section 1), and then show how his model can be adapted to avoid those worries (sections 2-4).
