world-time parallel, or unsure of its real import. For a start, many philosophers don’t like the assumption of other possible worlds. One of the earliest was Arthur Prior, who, in Prior 1957, had already advocated a temporal interpretation of the operators of modal logic. The examples we have chosen here draw out the parallel between tense and modality by setting out a past tense sentence and a sentence about an unrealized possibility. The parallel between tense and modality is itself more general so that, instead of the structure of (5) and (6) we can describe the structure of (3) and (4) by exhibiting more general schemata: (7) it is/was/will be that.

The World-Time Parallel : Tense and Modality in Logic and Metaphysics. Is what could have happened but never did as real as what did happen? What did happen, but isn't happening now, happened at another time. Analogously, one can say that what could have happened happens in another possible world. Whatever their views about the reality of such things as possible worlds, philosophers need to take this analogy seriously.
