a series of records of observations, which is also static.The fact that we can make this correspondence be-tween a mathematical object and a record of past mo-tion does not imply that the actual motion that theobservations sampled is timeless. Nor does it imply thatbehind the real evolution in time of the real world thereexists a complete correspondence to a timeless mathe-matical object. To posit this further relation is a puremetaphysical fantasy, which is not implied by anythingin the science (see box opposite).
