For me the question resolves to the qualities of the 'x, y, z & t' factors.
While 'x, y & z' are based on relatively solid 3-D 'reality', 't' finds its basis in a theoretical construct that we have accepted and called 'time'. The general parameters of 'time' are not universally accepted (is it linear - chronological - bound by/subject to our perception thereof - etc...?), and, while 'the past" may generally constitute some kind of reference point, isn't it strange/perplexing how often "Our" past recollections do not jive with each others' (or even, with reference records)...?
As @"Ninurta" - I lean toward 'the past, present and future all exist now', which is why some people (prophets, seers, palm & tea leaves readers, etc...) can accurately (even if only occasionally) foretell coming events.
Interesting hypothesis @"F2d5thCav" .
Thanks for the mind screw.
