String theorist Lubos Motl makes claims about time in "Ten new things modern physics has learned about time". (1) is "Time is just another, imaginary dimension of space" and (2) is ""eternalism vs presentism" debates: they're just battles about what terminology should be used." I think most philosophers of time would take these as wrong. Perhaps we need more philosophy/physics communication.
