  The Unreality of Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McTaggart proposed that time could be described by three series, the A series, the B series and the C series.
McTaggart has defined two fixed series (the B and C series) and one series that is continuously created (the A series).
McTaggart considers the possibility that time is related to individual observers but he does not include any discussion of relativity and assumes that there is only one time, true for all observers: "The present through which events really pass, therefore, cannot be determined as simultaneous with the specious present.

 J. M. E. McTaggart - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
McTaggart was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and remained there as a lecturer for most of his life.
Moore, and, according to Martin Gardner, the three were known as "The Mad Tea-Party of Trinity" (with McTaggart as the Dormouse).
McTaggart argued that the A-series was a necessary component of any full theory of time, but that it was also self-contradictory and that our perception of time was therefore an ultimately incoherent illusion.

 John McTaggart's The Nature of Existence
McTaggart is concerned with how existence is manifested as reality, and with how reality is different from the illusory appearances presented to us by our perceptions.
McTaggart argues that the nature of a substance is not only described by various qualities, it consists of qualities.
McTaggart also asserts that God cannot govern or control the universe, because control of the universe requires that God be the cause of events in the universe, and the power to control the universe is rendered impossible by the argument that time does not exist (Volume II-section 495).

 RIP Article - Printer Friendly
McTaggart’s father and mother were both members of a prosperous Wiltshire family, the Ellises: in fact they were first cousins, and this inbreeding may account for his premature death from a circulatory disease to which several Ellises succumbed.
McTaggart was immensely proud to be made a member of the Council of Clifton College; when he died, he left only the income of his property to his wife, with remainder to Clifton.
McTaggart was much impressed by this Epistle, and claimed that his philosophy could make the author’s presentation of eternal life a consistent one; Heaven is really eternal, but appears to each of us as an object of hope for the future.

 A Defense of the Tensed Theory of Time
McTaggart readily admits that the idea of time’s transience does indeed correspond with the commonsense conception and experience of time; nevertheless, he holds that this conception is fatally flawed.
McTaggart, however, has already anticipated a reply of this sort and has an ingenious rebuttal.
In this, ironically, tenseless view of tensed time, McTaggart’s argument is indeed a fatal one—there is no escaping the conclusion that tenses are incoherent as each moment is in possession of all three tenses.
