I believe the theorist is touching on truth as a whole, but the detailed explanations for the theory are faulty and not true. Atheist stumble on the truth of God sometimes without realizing it. As in "big bang theory". In a flash, where once nothing existed, suddenly everything existed.
This theory is not new.
It is just the journalist is an idiot
Similar to something I’ve already heard. Try to explain why we only remember the past, and not the future.
nothing new for Christians. this is just a wordy restatement what God already created.
This works well with the Eastern Orthodox church. And with a beloved author of mine - Robert Lanza.
Not new nor controversial....Eisenstein postulated the eternal now which implies the existence of past, present, and future simultaneously. He also postulated infinite nows....that in this instant while the might be in a traffic accident with a particular outcome in another universe or expression of now I did not get in the accident at all
Provides for interesting thought experiments
I think that’s what Horshack said in that Welcome Back, Kotter episode...
“What is? is. What was? will be. What will be *was*, but will be again.”
“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...”
Almost. I’d say it’s not just “all the things that ever happen”, it’s all the things that ever could happen.
That means that our whole solar system could be, like one tiny atom in the fingernail of some other giant being.
C.S. Lewis wrote about this 75 years ago in “Mere Christianity.”
Philosophers and theologians have long had trouble with the idea of free will, but ordinary mortals have to believe that they can change their fate through their actions.
The movie “Arrival” demonstrated this concept. Aliens arrive from the future and attempt to teach humans that past, present, future exist simultaneously, that they experience time non-linearly. Weird movie, but gets you to think about the concept.

In Hebrew, Jews omit forms of the infinitive, To Be, because it is close to the name of God.
Thus, a person would say, I John, not I am John; the word, am, is implied.
The name of God, I Am, could be rendered as: I Was, Am, and Will Be.
This author does not understand consciousness.
Time collapses as Life is like a roll of toilet paper in that the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.
bump- but you all knew i was gonna do that beign that you cvan see into the past
Time is not just a function of the speed if light.
Time is a function of the frequency of consciousness divided by the speed of light. As consciousness frequency increases. Time collapses.
Einstein knew this but failed to use it in his famous equation, thus E= m×Csquared is wrong.
God corralled us in a time line while He resides in Eternity where all things/events/past/present/future are available to Him
God created time.
God exists outside of His creation.
He can do with it, what he wants.
Y’all are screwed.
Faith...Cross...Resurrection
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.
