Got me thinking...it seems rather odd to assume that a place stops existing just because I am not there anymore. I apply the same concept to time, and conclude that 1994 still exists, just as the United Kingdom still exists, even though I am not currently in either place.
But in a block universe, you are still there too, in 1994.
Hey, I'm not countering. You might be correct.
As for the whiff I thought I detected, that wasn't from you and maybe I was wrong about it.
In a block universe: how can we be sure that my ”now” is at the same time as your ”now”?
(Assume you and I are at rest relative each other to exclude relativistic effects)
In the real universe we already know you can't be sure of that. Observers in different reference frames disagree on both the sequence of events, and on their timing.
Why would you imagine that there needs to be such an agreement?
