These shorts look at a universe where past and future might coexist, where observers might help define reality, and where the hours on your clock owe as much to railways as to physics. </p> <hr> <h2 id="the-block-universe-and-time-as-navigation">The Block Universe and Time as Navigation</h2> <p><em>Published 2026-06-26 · <a href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/HsF_QqdfpSY" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Watch the short</a></em></p> <p>Most people picture time as a line running from past to present to future.
