Does our scientific culture have a hard time with thinking of things as processes because of prevailing theories of time? Seems as if Lee Smolin is an outlier - I see lots of support for eternalist / block universe conceptions amongst prominent physicists and philosophers. I've been hearing more lately about process philosophies but I can't square that with the B of time in my head.
