I meant relativity, but that *is *based around the concept of space-time being a 4D manifold, although Brent has pointed out that we could dispense with that idea in a strictly operational definition - and I have pointed out that most TOEs dispense with it, since they want to start from something simpler than space-time. But in standard textbooks on relativity you will find Minkowski diagrams, light cones, world-lines and suchlike, as well as mentions of space-time being a 4-dimensional manifold. I'm not sure what predictions could be made from the existence of block time apart from simultaneity being relative. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
