Concerns about ontological interpetations of Theory of Relativity

[robphy]

This is very well understood. It has been under discussion in this thread a few times, even though I tried to make it clear in the first post that what is being discussed is the world behind our perceptions. The "now"-moment, if you will.

I.e. even though perceiving the world is one thing, we should not reject that there are events occurring out there even at moments when we haven't yet observed them.

There's a difference between
accepting the existence of such yet unobserved events and
assigning a grouping (e.g, what one calls "now") to some of those events.
