Description

The problem of time is one of the most profound issues in fundamental physics. It states that all observable are frozen in coordinate time. However, there are several solutions proposed to this issue. I will briefly review the problem, and then present a solution based on the Montevideo Interpretation, a relational approach combined with the so-called evolving constants of motion,in the cosmological case.
