Not quite sure what you mean here...
I mean... if we have local times, can't it be a global time too (which should be = the order of events).
If all the universe exists "at the same time", doesn't that imply a global time?
And if we have an order of events (i.e. a global time), then two events may happen at the same time (according to this global time). But according to the local times (i.e. here 1 second = there 1 year, and stuff like that) they may happen one after another. Isn't this a paradox?
it's regarding that thing with the omnipresent god I tried to explain, you know, to try to imagine a global time.
P.S. thanks for the link. I'll take a look on it.
