You can also have a "block universe" in QM with the many-world interpretation. It has a more complicated geometric structure but philosophically it is deterministic, with the same issues regarding changes, free will, etc. I believe QM is generally compatible with special relativity, but I am not sure of the details. A no-collapse formulation should be even more compatible since you don't have messy and non-physical measurements to worry about. Hal Finney
