Apart from some traditional philosophical influences, this is due mainly to the fact that relativity excluded the universal cosmic «Now» as the substratum of absolute simultaneity; and since such «Now» was naturally viewed as a boundary between past and future events, its elimination was interpreted as a denial of the successive character of the world.
