In a recent paper, David Albert has suggested that no quantum theory can yield a description of the world unfolding in Minkowski spacetime. This conclusion is premature; a natural extension of Stein's notion of becoming in Minkowski spacetime to accommodate the demands of quantum nonseparability yields such an account, an account that is in accord with a proposal which was made by Aharonov and Albert but which is dismissed by Albert as a ‘mere trick’. The nature of such an account is clarified by an extension to a relativistic quantum context of David Lewis' picture of objective chances evolving in time. 1Introduction 2Classical relativistic becoming 3Relativistic quantum becoming, without collapse 4Relativistic quantum becoming, with collapse 5Objective chance, conditional probability, and definite properties 6The nature of the wave function 7Conclusion
