For me, a 'continuous' time scale makes no logical sense. At some level, a discontinuous fracture between one chronon (a discrete instance of time) and another begs the question of where does the cosmos go between adjacent chronons? As I see it, the block universe is like a picture flip book, where one bends the book back and then lets it snap back one page (one chronon?) at a time very quickly. This produces a 'moving' image like what we experience here at our macro-level of existence.

The rate at which we observe time (as well as space) to stretch and bend is dependent on gravity and acceleration, two different sides of the same pancake, which can be understood, metaphorically, as the rate at which the flip book pages are allowed to snap back into place. The problem is however, whose thumb is controlling the flip book pages?
