Abstract

In a recent paper Stein (1991) makes a number of criticisms of an earlier paper of mine (Maxwell 1985) that explored the question of whether the idea that the future is genuinely “open” in a probabilistic universe is compatible with special relativity. I disagree with almost all of Stein's criticisms.
