I love these great big metaphysical assertions that contradict just about everything without any backup whatsoever.
Most people feel you need a baby horse to get an adult horse. Please explain why that is not the case. Please explain these "connections". Perhaps some quotes from leading scientist? Stuff I can look up?
Why scientist, first of all? Why not philosopher or something? Should I ask you to back your shit up with quotes from actual scientists then, given that you adhere to a theory of time not supported by modern science?
You already know what to look up, if you've already looked up theories of time and such.
Think about the implications of eternalism. If there is no flow of time, then how can there be a change? How can there be cause and effect?
If two countries are connected to each other, does one cause the other? No, look at reality in the Laplacian sense, rather than in this intuitive sense that you conceive of things from a temporal perspective. Causality is meaningful only from such perspective, not when we're discussing the fundamentals of reality itself.
