The ( false ) arrow of time is easy to imagine, Cliff,
but spatial time ( 4-D space ) isn't. For more on that, see: " http://WikiPedia.ORG/wiki/Block_time ". I can imagine a series of ( static, 3-D ) statues of a horse in progressive stages of " motion "; but it doesn't look continuous. No wonder people have a hard time understanding General Relativity. G.R. is best understood in terms of a centrifugal force and/or a gravity well substracting/adding energy, resulting in red/blue shifts. Then there's " The creation myth conflict ", " The Bible vs. the lambda-CDM model ". We're 4-D rocks ? static, immobile ? |

... The ( false ) arrow of time is easy to imagine, Cliff, Apparently not for you. Can you explain why events happen one after another? but spatial time ( 4-D space ) isn't. For more on that, see: " http://WikiPedia.ORG/wiki/Block_time ". There are not four spatial dimensions. |
