McTaggart's objection to the B-series sounds equally applicable to space. As I understand it, B-series conceptions of time consider it essentially another dimension. The summary of McTaggart's objection could be rephrased:
> [spacial dimensions] involves change, but because [north-south] relationships never change (e.g. [Atlanta] is always [South of New York]), [geometry] must be an inadequate account of [space].
