the future or the past does not exist, only the present...
What's your opinion on for how long that moment of present is long?
I'm looking at it like frames of the movie and to me that one frame it's something that's not measurable.
What is the smallest measurable moment in time?
Quantum mechanics inherently demonstrates that there is no such thing as fate or destiny, so going on that it's impossible for the future to exist as some sort of pre-determined state.

Prove it.
It has been experimentally proven that all time (past, present & future) exist simultaneously and statically.

The past nor future exist... they can not be traveled to. There is only now.

They can't be traveled to, yet they can be referenced and referred to. If you shoot an arrow from a bow to a target, it exists in an infinite number of positions along the flight path, and we can, in the present, refer to any of those positions and describe them it in as much detail and certainty as we can describe our current state. Maybe even more, since our current state can't be determined until after it's measured, by which time the state has passed.

So in many ways, it's the present that doesn't exist, as the only things we can really be sure of are things that happened, and things that have a high probability of happening. There is no "now." There is only remembrance of things past, and anticipation of the future.

Let me repeat, the perception of of the passage of time (observed changes occurring) is an emergent property of quantum entanglement.
This is the gist of TR (Temporal Relativity).

I just smashed my clock time does not exist anymore folks.
Sorry about that.
