You're travelling at a slightly different velocity to me, simply because it's highly unlikely we're at the same altitude, so we'll be moving with the Earth at different rates. We're in a different time frame buddy. 1 second to you is extremely close to 1 second to me, but not preciesly. We might find a billionth of a second over a billion years in time difference, but there will be a difference.
As for the river, one molecule of water is travelling at a different velocity to the next. The differences might be tiny, but for each molecule to travel at exactly the same rate as it flows, everything that influences the rate of the river would have to be uniform. A straight line, a perfectly flat river bed, no wind, a constant and consistent supply etc. Nothing in this universe is uniform.
This is what I mean by saying the river doesn't flow the same for us all. That could only be true if we occupy exactly the same region of the river, or if all influences are uniform.
hm yeah, okay... i'm not going to argue against any kind of "now" or "present moment" in relative terms. intuitively it makes sense in my head but i don't have the cognition to try and present my case, and certainly could be wrong.
but when you break it down subjectively, it is undeniable. it may be true that your now may be slightly different than mine, but we all experience time the same, even if it isn't constant as a whole.
