Dutch philosopher of physics who developed the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics and has worked on time, becoming, and the foundations of statistical mechanics.
Modal interpretation of QM: physical systems always have definite properties (the value state), even before measurement; the dynamical state determines which values are possible. The becoming in the world: argues that physics can accommodate a concept of objective temporal passage.
