cheers. yes, it comes off a little solipsistic, but I don't totally agree with solipsism. Time exists only within the present. The present doesn't exist within time. The first sentence has proof 100% of the time, the second has no proof. Everything exists as one within now...

Actually, Descartes dictum, "I think, therefore I am" is already proven to be an old method of thinking. It is a famous error. Who we are, in definition, are not our thoughts. We're more than just our minds. Infact our presence rises with stillness of the mind, just by doing a few tests...

I'm not saying the past didn't exist, I'm saying it doesn't exist. Slight but important difference. We can appreciate it happened, but it's not happening. - only 'now' is happening. Also, I don't think you can ever 'see' the past as it's past, you are only seeing what is happening now. -...

cheers, will do. thanks again.

yeah, but what's the point in science if you're not applying it to anything meaningful? I really wanted ideas from scientists on this though I'm not opposed to this changing areas in the forum, might not be the most relevant to Special & General relativity discussion

haha, well I would exercise common sense - I don't mean to abandon time as a concept, but to actually be aware that it IS a concept in itself - rather than us being limited by time we can take more advantage of the concept of now. - Goals are totally ok for the future, it's the awareness of the...

Awesome, thanks very much! cheers for the link

thank you for being so helpful. I'm assuming you would use physics to prove this stuff, which I do not know that well... however, I just saw a philosophy area which might be better suited if someone wants to move it. cheers. yeah, I guess talking to random people on my outings, this...

G'day, First post here. Sorry if this is the wrong area. really glad there is a physics forum. I'm hoping people actually are relatively qualified here because I'm totally a beginner and purely researching for my own general interest and would love for some people to explain some things to...
