Liz, Stephen is correct here and you are wrong. As Stephen says "block time" is a BS theory. This is true for all sorts of reasons, a couple of which Stephen has just presented to you.
All the advocates of block time just keep repeating that something fixed and static somehow moves (without actually ever telling us how) but it simply can't. it simply can't explain the obvious observable fact that time flows. It's not just a BS theory, it's a total BS theory that rightfully should have been laughed into oblivion as soon as it was proposed.... And you still keep repeating your misunderstanding of p-time, that it is somehow falsified by relativity. It isn't. It is entirely compatible with relativity, and in fact the whole notion of a present moment is a direct consequence of SR.
