• Abstract: I dissent from the standard assertion of a "Two Times Problem," in which physical time is taken as being at odds with the human sense of a "flow of time." I provide a brief overview of the case to be made for the contrary view: namely, that physical theory is indeed consistent with a genuine temporal dynamism that takes into account the quantum level in connection with spacetime emergence, the latter being supervenient on specific quantum processes.

  We show that it is neither necessary nor sufficient for the Poisson bracket between the time variable and the super-Hamiltonian to be equal to unity in all of the phase space. We also discuss the question of switching between different internal times as well as the Montevideo interpretation of quantum theory.

It is shown that energy is conserved under subjective collapse schemes whereas, in general, under objective collapse it is not.

• A quantum formalism for events and how time can emerge from its foundations [0.0]
  We extend the classical concept of an event to the quantum domain by defining an event as a transfer of information between physical systems. We propose that a well-defined instant of time, like any other observable, arises from a single event, thus being an observer-dependent property.
