Relativity, however, is a bad match for quantum mechanics. The growing block universe is, on the other hand, a good match for the objective reduction. I agree with Rovelli that each major physical theory has a different picture of time.

I also agree that we should expect consciousness to supervene on small but nonzero stretches of activity.

However, this still isn't a hold match for full strength Eternalism.
