Einstein took a very old idea ( i.e. universal causality )

so now we can use GPS systems instead of sun dials.

Quoting the Tao Te Ching:
“ There is a thing inherent and natural,

  --> Motionless <-- and fathomless,
  It stands alone and --> never changes <-- ;

  It pervades everywhere and never becomes exhausted.
  It may be regarded as the Mother of the Universe.

  I do not know its name. If I am forced to give it a name,
  I call it Tao, and I name it as supreme. ”

Quoting Einstein:

“ But this ether [ i.e. Relativity ] may not be thought of as

  as consisting of parts which may be tracked through time.

  --> The idea of motion may not be applied to it. <-- ”.

Einstein:

“ But the scientist is possessed by

  The future, to him,
  is every whit as necessary and determined as the past. ”.

Quoting Petkov:

“ This paper pursues two aims.

  First, to show that the block universe view, regarding the universe as
  a timelessly existing four-dimensional world,
  is the only one that is consistent with special relativity.

  Second, to argue that special relativity alone can resolve
  the debate on whether the world is
  three-dimensional or four-dimensional.

  The argument advanced in the paper is that
  if the world were three-dimensional

  the kinematic consequences of special relativity and more importantly
  the experiments confirming them would be impossible. ”.

Dear Jeff:  To try to appear smart, Einstein read learned things, and
memorized things that he could repeat when an occasion arose.  That is
why it took him so long to answer simple questions—he was trying to
figure which memorized statements to repeat.

The Universe has only three dimensions.  Note: A 'dimension' isn't the
same as a variable.  Time is a variable that can be plotted relative
to many things, but 3D space never changes.  Only the ‘units’ of-the-
moment that are used to measure distances, and thus space, change.
The Universe may indeed have 10 or 11 variables, but only three are
spatial.  Time isn't one of them. — NoEinstein —-

Two comments:
Relativity does not assert that time is a spatial dimension -- far
from it.
But if the universe does indeed have 10 or 11 dimensions, then more
than 3 of them are spatial. It might be of interest to you to read up
on the obvious question that others have asked for a long time: "Then
why don't we see them?"

Dear PD: X-Y-Z dimensions can explain how the universe relates to its
various parts quite well. Unlike you, I am not encumbered by trying
to reconcile the "reasoning" of others. Learn to think for yourself,
and you too might (eventually) see the light. — NoEinstein —
