Sabine Hossenfelder is describing 'block time' or the 'block universe' theory in which the past, present, and future all exist simultaneously. The past still exists and the future already exists at the same time as the present. Other physicists such as Brian Greene, Sean Carrol, and Mark Tegmark have spoken about the block universe theory. All three, primarily Brian Greene, are presented in the video below. It's fascinating stuff.

Past, present and future coexist. 'Now time' explained easy.

Oh. To justify what is basically a science subject being in the religion forum, if God exists and exists outside of time then he would be able to see the past, present, and future simultaneously in accordance with 'block time.'

Yup. After I hit absolute rock-bottom and began to pull myself back up I found two things that greatly helped - meditation and consciousness studies.

One YT channel I regularly followed and still do is Closer to Truth and those physicists and more are regularly interviewed.

Closer To Truth is the definitive source for Cosmos, Consciousness and Meaning. Filmed on location, Closer To Truth features leading philosophers and scientists exploring humanity’s deepest questions.

One of my favorite Closer to Truth videos. https://youtu.be/VxLyAOxJriY?list=PL...XfywQvhBzzdrQA

I like 'Closer To Truth' as well.

This is a mistaken view born of the constant speed of light in our measures. It is an artifact of the fact that our consciousness has to form at the speed of light during "quantum time" for us to use its "instantaneous" awareness in any measurements. It is the formation time of our consciousness that makes our measurement of the speed of light constant, NOT a block time universe.

In your opinion. But since you think you are right and theoretical physicists are wrong about 'block time', then challenge, say, Sean Carrol, or Brian Greene to a public debate.

Still, Einstein was an agnostic Jewish where agnostic put God in a box so for him believing that his grandmother was still live in any physical matter would be just theory and had no substance ...... most people need to have God spirit to have His eternal existence

I am too close to finding out the truth for real, Michael. I did the intellectual work for MY understanding. I will let them find out for themselves. Perhaps someone who is or was on this forum will introduce them to my views. Who knows, they are certainly intelligent enough to grasp my extrapolations.

The arrogance displayed in that statement is quite obvious. It's a shame that you can't see that.

Oh, I see it fine, Michael, but I have spent a lifetime with my intellect and I have no delusions about its genuine superiority to the average bear. There are many my intellectual equal or greater but not that many. That tends to be well-deserved arrogance. I have no interest in false humility. Of course, intellect is not the most important factor in human life, but it is one of them.
