What does that mean? How does it flow? What does it flow through? Don't bother to reply because far more astute minds than yours have worked out the answer - it doesn't, unless you postulate another time through which it flows. But so far that is completely unnecessary to explain the universe. (It isn't even necessary to explain your computational reality idea, ironically enough.) > > And you still keep repeating your misunderstanding of p-time, that it is > somehow falsified by relativity.

However you won't, because you can't, as your constant refusal to engage with serious questions shows. This particular misunderstanding is related to your idea that time somehow "flows". Anyway you just keep on and on with the same old nonsense, you say block time is "a BS theory" which just goes to show the level of your intellect. You can't actually show that, so you just repeat it over and over and hope the BS will stick. Well it has stuck, but not where you intended.
