Agreed, Liz. His bizarre misunderstandings about block time (it violates conservation of energy) and sundry other statements exhibiting poor comprehension of modern physics reveal him to be exactly what you suspected early on: a crackpot. The question he put to you in which he asked if you ceased to exist at one point on his timeline reveals his basic error of logic. Everything must exist simultaneously with me, therefore there is a universal common present moment. Obviously that does not necessarily follow but Mr Owen has invested so much in his idea (he's written a book - self-published one might assume) that he is incapable of seriously questioning it any more. I guess there are two routes to genius: have a brilliant, revolutionary idea and convince the world, or have a wrong revolutionary idea and armour yourself so heavily against reason that every rebuttal merely reinforces your own view that you are a misunderstood visionary. Ad hominem. Mea culpa.
