Block Universe Is A Logical Triviality On Indeterminism

The block universe is compatible with genuine indeterminism: one can hold there is exactly one real past, present and future (a logical triviality) while also holding the future does not yet exist, is not yet determined, and that the laws of physics could let it come out different ways—so the block-universe view does not by itself undermine talk of unactualized possibilities.
