And the other thing people contemplate: They think denying the flow of time is denying time asymmetry of the world. Of course events in the world follow a directional sequence. Drop an egg on the floor and it breaks. You don’t see eggs assembling themselves. Buildings fall down after earthquakes; they don’t rise up from heaps of rubble.
"Events occurring in sequence" is the same thing as "the flow of time", in my understanding at least. What else does "the flow of time" refer to? I fear there's a subtle point being made that I don't quite grasp.
