Is the future now?

Post by citali_ »

Or is it beyond our dreams? Also, how can the future be now if this is the present? :?

I can see how the 22 century and beyond is the future. And that makes sense.

In my opinion yes, but a very "nearish" one yet.

Whatever you think is the "future" is always in the future. ;)
To know is essentially the same as not knowing. The only thing that occurs is the rearrangement of atoms in your brain.

It is like the Steve Miller band song: "Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future."

Your "present" will always be someone's future when viewed from the past.
