Past Present Future

(1/2) > >>

OldMan:
We remember the past

We plan for the future

Is there a present and if so can you explain it?

Ghost Wolf:
Can you?

Eternal Seeker:

Realistically, as slowly as our biological minds work, "present" has to be a continuum, based on perception, and variable for the purposes of the discussion. Any other definition would have to be for the purposes of idle discussion only.

peace,
ES

I agree with ES!

Tirya:
Technically since we don't perceive the "now" until the light hits our eyes and is interpreted by our brains, everything we're seeing "now" actually happened a nanosecond in the past. So technically there is no "present".

I have been doing too much stargazing lately, and realizing that the light we're seeing from stars now actually was emitted years ago has been kind of messing with my mind. :D
