Everything that exists in time is supposed to take the form of unchanging snapshots arrayed along the time-line. That includes the conscious experiences of all observers, including their mistaken intuition that time is ‘flowing’. They may imagine a ‘moving present’ travelling along the line, stopping and starting, or even going backwards or ceasing to exist altogether. But imagining it does not make it happen. Nothing can move along the line. Time cannot flow.
