It is always raining somewhere.

You wrote,"(P and -P) are two different points in spacetime too.

What's your point?"
that obviously since we are talking about 2 different places in spacetime there is no contradiction.

Time is the 4th dimension. The other 3 are height depth and width. A point in spacetime can have the same height, depth and time but is not at the same place width wise. https://plus.maths.org/content/what-block-time

Just because 2 objects exist now ( 2020 ) Does not mean that they are the same object.

Then you are necessarily saying that contradictions don't exist.

No two moments in time are the same moment in time.
No two places in space are the same place in space.

Truth or falsity is irrelevant.

Contradictions don't exist. Full stop.

Show me one.

What a stupid article.

From any given point in the block which way is "the future" ?

There is no universal "now". Imagine a time line. a____b____c . b is in the future relative a. b is in the past relative to c.

Then there is no universal "now" then there can be no contradictions.

A contradiction requires the same NOW.

OK you can disagree with Einstein's Relativity. But it has been confirmed many times.
