A "geometric" intepretation of probability is proposed, modelled on the treatment of tense in 4-dimensional spacetime. It is applied to Everett's approach to quantum mechanics, as formulated in terms of consistent histories. Standard objections to Everett's approach, based on the difficulties of interpreting probability in its terms, are considered in detail, but found to be wanting.
