This is an old issue, but it's been a while since it's been brought up, as far as I know.

Anyway, my claim is that all of existence is only one infinite moment that we call "the present".

@Cyracuz,
deep time leaves its rints so that e need to adress what thye mean in the context of your "present"

My dog lives in the present , he doesnt know any better. We humans dont do that because we have these things like self awareness, abilities in planning, and learning from the clues of the past.

Too much physics depends on sigma and delta time

@farmerman,
By "present" I mean the moment we exist in.
Anyway, all those plans you speak of, they are made in the present, and when the future in which those plans can be carried out becomes the present, then the plans are carried out. There isn't anything that can happen in the past or in the future. Everything happens in the present.

But, what is sigma and delta time?

@Cyracuz,
Agreed! The PRESENT is the not-yet-existing (or "empty") FUTURE becoming the no-longer (or "empty") PAST. It is therefore also empty but all that there is. At least this is one way of thinking about it.

@JLNobody,
One has to concede however that given relativistic considerations for instance where a high-speed voyage entails honest-go-gosh time travel, that Intuition suggests we’re traveling thru it

to the Universe this is true

inotherwords , if you could step OUT of the Universe and then look into it , you find that at that one infinite moment all these things that are going on inside the Universe are all happening at the same moment

@north,
Very interesting Cyr that you should so suppose. In fact, I don’t believe the idea of a single moment throughout the Universe is a viable concept and that’s one reason I q your OP

it is to the Universe

think of it this way , think of ALL the actions that are taking place on our planet , at the same of ALL the actions that are taking place in the Universe in the same moment......

Perhaps North you scanned it too hastily. Please Read it again more slowly and if you still don’t see then rattle my cage again

Sorry if I wasn’t clear. A participant remarks something about everything going on in the Universe at this instant and I reply that even neglecting relative motion the idea of the same single instant throughout the Universe could be faulty

.........owing to what might prove a common misconception about time-at-a-distance as I discuss in the link

so then your position about time-at-a-distance has nothing to do with this thread then ?

it doesn't

what goes on through out the Universe all happens at the same moment

it has nothing to do with any theories by anyone

what it is about is whether actions on this planet and actions in the Universe all happen at the same moment and they do , no matter the deviation of any theory by us

look you may have an argument in your thread , but thats not the point I've been trying to make

what ever actions that goes on , on this planet , there are actions that at the same moment are going on in the Universe

the Universe is full of actions that are going right now and so are we on this planet

when truth is the plus to constant superiority, so the freedom superiority to objective value in absolute abstract terms identified being else fact existence, then past and future in truth exist

at least the principle of superiority is always the base, while superiority by definition introduce future and is always the past already to

it became a fashion to shout about present now as miaomiao triumph, bc u achieve ur end in truth being for free possessions adds or bonus given, never u ever meant evolutions and responsable independant individualities
