Black holes the actual facts

Break it down. The present doesn’t exist. It cannot exist. It’s a difficult thing for some to come to terms with I guess. There is no standing still, there is no now. Unless, of course, you subscribe to there being no time at all, in which case it is all now. Perhaps we’re just falling into our own event horizon. a reply to: surfer_soul

According to Einstein time is relative to speed, if you were traveling at the speed of light time would go much more slowly for you than it would for me who isn’t. So time isn’t as fixed as we ten to think.

Even in our daily lives how we experience time varies, such as time fly’s when having fun, or conversely time can really drag when bored or waiting for something. If we can experience time slowing we can also experience it practically standing still.

Though your right the moment is just fleeting, in our perception we don’t really experience nano seconds passing, but on the other hand the past only exists as a memory immutable and unchanging. While the future only exists as potential, a concept relative to the past. We can plan for the future and we can re live the past but we can only experience the moment.
