Einsteins Relativity Consistent With Absolute Simultaneity
Is the Atheory of time consistent with Einstein s relativity of simultaneity Many think not. But what about the growing block theory of time It is an Atheory, and the present can be defined as the edge of the block s growth, thus a kind of absolute simultaneity. Meanwhile the weird relativistic effects of relativity can be packed into the universe s history, so that in Einstein s sense of simultaneity, simultaneity is relative. As long as we don t equivocate on simultaneity, there will be no pro
