About the image: According to the block universe theory, the way we experience time  passing by in a linear fashion  is an illusion. Instead, past, present, and future all exist simultaneously in a four-dimensional space-time continuum block. That theory feels especially relevant in Egypt, where floating on the Nile in Luxor or being stuck in Cairo traffic feels outside of time as we know it. Standing at the Pyramids of Giza on the dawn of my birthday, I felt as if I was inside this continuum, where past, present, and future collapsed into one eternal moment.
