Storrs McCall presents an original philosophical theory of the nature of the universe based on a striking new model of its space-time structure and argues that the fact that the model throws light on such a large number of problems constitutes strong evidence that the universe is as the model portrays it. An ambitious, controversial, and ingenious idea for a completely new metaphysical foundation for philosophy and physics, this book discusses a broad range of topics within the framework of the new theory, and will be of special interest to physicists for its original new interpretation of quantum mechanics.

`the most coherent and fully worked-out account of the universe that takes seriously indeterminism and the dynamic nature of time ... McCall's branching-tree model is the best alternative version yet to be produced ... his discussion of quantum mechanics is well-informed and illuminating ... clear, well-argued and accessible ... It is a must for every philosophical library, and any philosopher who is serious about metaphysics or interested in contemporary topics in philosophical logic.' (J.R. Lucas, International Studies in the Philosophy of Science)
