Furthermore, Mctaggart doesn’t conclude his concepts of rather raises the issues the A/B-series faces with of time and change. An A-theorists would argue against Mctaggarts view in how he holds time as an unreal construct, and would use a primitivist concept to do so. For McTaggart can’t argue against the factuality of events happening, as well as the ability to witness change. Consequently, this makes his conclusion of time unreasonable, because of our participation in the relation of time as a metaphysical mechanism, which affects our conscious reality. For everyone witnesses’ change, and link tenses together, especially if there is repetition found in specific events, however these events cannot be interchanged (E.i the patterns in weather, or global events, such as war). Interchange as of, replacing one, rather they hold similar relations to one another. For the concept of past/present/future is used only as a permeable concept to record reality through the metaphysical temporality of time, and the idea of past/present/future, to keep track of reality. For change in itself is physically inevitable and change cannot be denied, unless its separated from reality. If Mctaggart cannot prove the concept of change faulty, his conclusion of time cannot hold. Hence, Mctaggarts claim that the A-series is an incapable means to record change is incorrect, rather it’s a tool used to link the metaphysical and physical relations together, and if he cannot prove otherwise against the relation of change in reality and time, the A-theory cannot be denied, unless proven
