The block universe is a mathematical 4D object constructed in 1 dimension of time and 3 dimensions of space that follows Non-Euclidean geometry, and it changes in time and it changes in space, if it didn't there would be no details in the universe and everything would be a even unchanging fog.Special Relativity implies all points in time are equally real, and moreover, cannot be sliced into any objective view of a "present", each inertial reference frame can have its own view of what the present is.
Which only shows that the idea of a reference frame defining a "present" is inconsistent with relativity. It is light cones that are invariant...not specious "nows".
