 | | As a clock falls toward a fl hole, time slows on approach to the event horizon, and it completely stops at the horizon (not just at the center of the hole)--relative to time on a clock that remains safely back on earth. |
 | | The propositions that are expressed at each particular time, such as "It is raining at midnight on Jan. 1, 2000 in Chicago," do not change their truth values through time, but are timelessly true; and so the flow of time cannot be explained in terms of them. |
 | | Assuming it did rain in Chicago then, this latter tenseless sentence can be used to express a proposition that is true when uttered on Jan. 1, 2000, but is not true in 1950. |
