You have done what just about everyone does when defending the Block UV--you proved there is not a Block UV.
There is simply no way to rationally affirm it. Clearly, Einstein did not have the whole picture and why people even set out to explain the BUV, knowing they are defying it with every word they type is not helping. Im guilty of this as well
Nothing can have a cause if its true. The only way to look at it is as if we already went through an A series of time and now are reliving it as our consciousness inexplicably is being moved through it again--walking into the decisions we previously made.
You say..oh, that makes no sense. Damn right it doesn't. :) Unless you're proposing an evolving BUV that has a front edge with time slices, as some have proposed, the Block would be eternal and the casual relations would just be accidents. It would just so happen that every word I type forms a coherent sentence--but on the BUV--this sentence has always existed--it never was formed successively. Its as random as finding scrabble letters on the ground that just happen to form words.
Now, I do understand that people love to marvel others with the idea that time is an illusion. I used to do the same. I wrote many posts, lathering myself in my own magnificence. I used to particularly like to say there is no before or after. But when I thoroughly ran the BUV to it conclusion, I realized its self refuting and cannot in any way explain the universe or us. The price is way too high to pay to pretend that a few light cones and worldlines can override something that, without, nothing could ever happen.
Something is wrong in our calculations and the very fact that cosmologists spend all day telling us "when" the universe began and "how" show they dont, in the core of their being, accept the BUV
