be obvious that "We're conscious of the present."
I may have misunderstood the idea of an evolving block universe. I
thought it meant that the past is, as it were, existent in the block,
but the future is not - until it becomes the present. But if the past
is existent in the block, how do we know that we are conscious in the
present and not in the past?
May be Brent can add some explanations. I have also some difficulties
about what could be an evolving (in time?) block-universe.
If that make sense, I would suggest to work with the block-block-
universe.
