Lightbulb Brain Boggler 1

If everything before what's happening is the past, everything after what's happening is the future, and time can be divided infintecimaly;

Is there ever truly a present?

Re: Brain Boggler 1
perhaps we are simply living in the past and future simultaniously. The present does not exist... atleast not to me.

Re: Brain Boggler 1
Tormod is correct. BUT....

....because the brain acknowledges things approx. 2 nanoseconds after it happens, we are always living in the past.

In the short time it takes to read this response several of your future seconds have now become the past for each is only the present for the blink of an eye.
