Pierz, If block time is actual and something actually exists in past times then the energy must actually exist there and be real also. Thus a new universe of energy is being created at every new moment of time. Energy is not being converted from one form to another but stored in each moment of past time. Block time does violate conservation of energy. I know there are ways people try to weasel out of this but they are not convincing.
Block time is simply not possible, and as I've pointed out before SR and the associated STc Principle conclusively falsify it. Not only that no one who accepts the block time nonsense has been able to come up with any convincing physics based reason why we exist in a present moment, or even seem to exist in a present moment, since you don't believe there actually is one.
