My point was that the philosophers could be wrong ;) i.e a block universe does *not* have to mean that there is no A-series. I'm pointing out the possibility that that there could be *both* a block universe *and* an A-Block. I pointed out that this could be possible if time had several different components or dimensions associated with it. If both a block universe and an A-series is possible, then the philosophy debate over whether time flows or not would be exactly like the debate over whether light is particles or waves. Every-one thought it had to be one or the other, but it turned out to be both. Analogously, every-one thinks time is *either* an A-series *or* a B-series, but I'm saying it *can* be both. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
