Under this math, time does not flow, and \"right now\" is not special. Your childhood, this exact second, and your final breath all co-exist as permanent, unchangeable coordinates in the four dimensional block of history. They are all equally real, right now, like points on a map.\n\nIf your spiritual or philosophical worldview relies on time being a flowing, present-only river, your daily technology is running on a deeper model of reality than your theology. Either your belief system has a way to account for a universe where all of history is already written and real, or there is some serious thinking left to do."}
