Oh I see.
Do you think it at least supports the notion that there's not an objective "now"?
Why are you asking that old fool? Just watch the video.
Because this is a discussion forum and I think I actually have a pretty good argument for why we can go from relativity of simultaneity to no objective now to all moments exist at once.
I agree...so in that spirit:
1. Things that happen simultaneously are an occurrence of a pattern within a given context of time. If A and B are simultaneous they exist within the context of let say C.
2. Objective reality can be observed as a simultaneous pattern of multiple subjective states.
3. Given all things that are absolute are unchanging, the things that occur within a given context are absolute. The context may change, and with it the absolute, but this only points to innumerable absolutes.
4. Given potentiality underlies all actualities, ie processes, what can be observed is an everpresent absolute cause of potential itself given change is constant and with said change the potential for it to occur.
5. All moments existing at once would be indistinct thus relegated to pure potentiality by which a collapse of the potential, ie a localization of it, would allow for the actual to occur.
