Avengers metaphysics match Leo's

[montecristo]

I watched the newest Avengers today and realized that the movie's metaphysics of time is the same as how Leo reported time to be after his solo retreat in the retreat notes. That each moment in time still exists right now and always.

A more grounded example of this would be that it is possible that the light from events that occured on earth millions of light years away (and ago) are in this very moment being observed in real time by aliens with a very fine tuned and powerful telescope.

imagine being far enough away from earth that you could witness historical events in real time as they played out. essentially witnessing the past.

Its not the same thing that is meant when people say every moment existed for eternity. This effect is because of the physical limit of light speed and its well observed, its not metaphysics.

that much is obvious but like I said it's a sort of 'soft example' of it if you know what I mean.

@MM1988 Light speed is metaphysical, in the sense it is your work.

Thanos has 'infinity' stones, but still wanted to destroy half of all sentient life in the Universe, because he was convinced that there aren't enough resources to go around. What an irony!
