I am interested in the global time aspect. Does Lee Smolin anywhere address how he gets around the issue that in Special Relativity there is no global sense of simultaneity? I am guessing that it must be something related to Lorentz Ether Theory which is mathematically identical to Special Relativity, but assumes a background where there is a notion of absolute simultaneity. Due to time dilation and length contraction effects caused by motion relative to the background, the absolute reference frame becomes undetectable by normal methods (but is there by logical deduction).
