The block universe theory says that our universe may be looked at as a giant four-dimensional block of spacetime, containing all the things that ever happen, explained Dr. Kristie Miller, the joint director for the Centre for Time at the University of Sydney.
In the block universe, there is no "now" or present. All moments that exist are just relative to each other within the three spacial dimensions and one time dimension. Your sense of the present is just reflecting where in the block universe you are at that instance. The "past" is just a slice of the universe at an earlier location while the "future" is at a later location.
Nope. Even in infinite universes, with infinite outcomes, this could never EVER be true.
Isn’t that the truth? As a kid, it took an eternity every single day for the clock to tick off the minutes to 3:00 pm. And the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day? That lasted a century. The time from mid May to the end of school in June? That time never moved at all.
Time is very elastic.

The Eastern Church is focused on life rather than the West’s focus on Sin, is that correct?
Time is a function of the frequency of consciousness from which you view it.
When I meditate for hours, it seems like minutes. At the higher frequencies, my processing speed and expanded consciousness allows me to perceive the thoughts and stored memories in the souls of others as physical objects.
The time distortion when I come back into this reality is tough to figure out as time distortion at the higher frequencies cause days to appear as minutes.
You have the ability to tune your consciousness so low that mole hills appear as mountains (worry all the time), or so high that mountains appear as mole hills.
Prayer and meditation are the best tools to raise the frequency of your consciousness.
Didn’t Stephen Hawking say that time existed so that everything didn’t happen at once.
I am not a fan of this theory because I don’t like to think I’m little more than some animated character going through the motions that are already scripted for me. Not a fan of anything that says we humans have no free will. I don’t think that’s God’s plan for us, it would make us little more than puppets on strings.
Yep. Lady Sarah.
When the Bible speaks of the "chosen" ones, we are not pre-chosen by him the day he creates us. But because He knows all truth past present and future, he knows what we will choose.. by free will.. in the future. And therefore He also knows which souls will choose well and please him and who, in the future, He is goning to choose to be allowed into eternal peace in heaven. He already knows who the chosen ones will be.
The athiest explanation of the guts of the theory are wrong, but the theory touches on some truth.
So right, and needs to be taught to children. When going potty (or living life), don't waste the toilet paper because there ain't another roll around. I don't like being old, months are like weeks, weeks like days... faster and faster it goes.
