The “Now” And The “Here”
Think about the idea of "here". I am here. You, while reading this, can truly say "I am here", even though your "here" is different to mine.
On the block universe model, talk about the "present" or "now" works just like talk of "here".
Remember last week when you said to your friend, who was late arriving for coffee, "now you're here"; or when, long ago, Caesar said, "I am now crossing the Rubicon"?
These claims are both true. That's because all it means to talk about the present, or now, is to talk about the place in time where you happen to be.
