If today is yesterday's future and tomorrows past, are we living in the past, present or the future ?

Answer 1

The truth is that it is all relative to the frame of temporal reference that you choose. As such, any could be right depending on how you look at it (which is already fairly well defined by your own question).

Answer 2

Presently as I am answering the question I am in the present but the beginning of the sentence is already past and as I am thinking what I should write I am in the future. When you read this answer it will be the past thought and feelings of the present question I am answering now. So yes, all are relative depending on ones perspective. To God all is as one day.

Answer 3

Past, present and future are all divisions of "time" which is a construct we create to explain (put into a context) the sensory inputs we experience. If you have existed (caused a change in "reality") at any point in time then the effect of your existence is as real at any point in time as it is in the present. Therefore, if "existing" can be stretched in this case to what you call "living" then we live in what we call the past present and future.

Answer 4

You are living in the present. The past no longer exists. The future does not exist yet. You cannot be in a place that does not exists. This is also why time travel is impossible. Einstein was wrong on time travel.

Answer 5

All 3 simultaneously. We are just "aware" of what is in the "present" moment we are experiencing. Although I have known people that "live in the past"......don't you? Hey let's just look to out future okay?

Answer 6

we live in the past, present and future all at the same time...

Answer 7

one way or the different, we may be able to assert that we stay contained in the previous. right it truly is why. once you be conscious your exhibit exhibit screen, today, you likely also see a wall behind it. the mild that reaches your retina took truly longer from the wall than the exhibit screen. no longer a lot in spite of the indisputable fact that the mild of the moon you be conscious by potential of your window took one 2d, 8 minutes from the solar, 4.5 years from Proxima Centauri and per chance billions of years from distant galaxies. In different words, we perceive in both area and time. even as that comes as an electric powered signal out of your retina on your mind and before your mind renowned the information received (a lengthy time period for me considering i'm 60 years previous! :-) what you be conscious is the previous. This being stated, human beings like Cantor and Gödle have tried contained in the previous to sparkling up the question of the authentic nature of time and, curiously adequate, a lot of them stepped ahead psychological issues, some took their existence (Cantor) and some ended up contained in the satisfied farm the position the astounding nurse comes including your medicine only even as the clock on the mantelpiece is stopped! :-)

Answer 8

you always live in the present. the past is gone, and the future is yet to come.

Answer 9

As George Carlin quotes :
"There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past."

He is a very wise man..... and so funny :P

Answer 11

I am writing this in the present, but by the time it gets to you, it will be in the past. My past...your present.
