Already know / already knew?

Hello english gurus,

Please tell me which sentence is correct?

"Earth is dying, but you already know that."

"Earth is dying, but you already knew that."

"His father is dead, but you already know that."

"His father is dead, but you already knew that."

Are they the same?

Thank you!

These sentences are OK. The tenses are different (present, past) that's all. The Earth is dying, but you already know that.

both of them are correct. but, you use 'you already knew that' if we are certain that the other person already got the information in the past. However, you use 'you already know that' if we suggest that the other person knows about the information now while we're talking. We use different tenses to specify the time. If we want to emphasize about his past knowledge about the information we use "
