Comment on If Eternalism is real (the theory of past, present, and future existing simultaneously) then time travel is going to a WHERE more than going to a WHEN.

Hmmm, wondering if Eternalism is even a necessary component here.

If we take spacetime as a 4 dimensional continuum, then I would just reword this as: “when” is just a specific version of “where” that refers to the time dimension.

Relatively literally means that the difference between when and where depends on your reference frame.

Inside black holes time becomes space, the reason it’s impossible to avoid falling to the singularity once inside is the same reason it’s impossible to avoid tomorrow.
