Does NOW exist??

Answer 1

FINALLY A GOOD QUESTION !!
Well it wasnt like the question hadnt already been asked I just had yet to experience it.. LOL
Well yes now does exist actually technically it will always exist even after it has past and before it has existed . Existence is a tricky concept.. I would say that existing is what you experience.. Umm lets say this.... Now is just a measurement that we are bound by in our reality .. It is a measurement of time . Time is eternal.. SOOO in theory NOW has always been in place and will always be in place.. It has to do with mechanics of quantum theory and "Quantum Mechanics" .. LOL..... The idea of now is in correlatin of the idea of our reality around us right Now... So reality is actually what we "REALize" and what you Realize is NOW....
Do YOU GET WHAT I AM GETTING AT???? I dunno how to really explain it... I know what I mean but dont know how to get it out just right.. I would suggest a really Good Movie that is called, "What The Bleep Do We Know" .. It explains the ideas behind Quantum mechanics and the idea of "NOW" and it also explains String theory... I suggest Studying up on String Theory to obtain a real clear answer to your question.
I hope that I was of some help.... Take Care..
Get it "NOW"???
See you are experiencing NOW.. it just had yet to be experienced...

Answer 2

Yes I try to savor now and at times I cant believe where I am or how time flys but this time will never come again. You may never be this age again and if time has past and the past is the future what you do now can change your future and the future of others. God is the key. He knows what you are going to do before you even do it . So what if what you did gets a review in the future it is what you do in that moment of time that counts and you probably won't remember it. Like you cant tell what you had for breakfast last year, but you had to eat something to be here NOW or you would be here weaker or stronger. YES Now exist and its what you do with it that counts

Answer 3

no, time is an invention of man, and is proven to be completely relative, and affected by gravity.

When an object accelerates, it's mass increases. Mass is directly proportional to gravity. Einstien speculated that an object could never reach the speed of light, because it's mass will have grown to infinite by the time it reached the speed of light, and would require infinite energy to accelerate it.

Two very accurate clocks were once used to keep time, one at sea level, and one on a water tower. The difference between these two clocks was very minor, but these clocks were extremely accurate. This proves that gravity has a measurable effect on time.

It is speculated that if, somehow, one could accelerate to the speed of light, then the growing mass would produce enough gravity to completely stop time.

Of course, they only way we as humans measure time is by decay. An atomic clock works by measuring the number of times an electron bounces between two plates... something on the order af 11,000 bounces becomes a second, but that's pretty much all we have to go off of.

Do you see how the whole thing is a man made construct?

NOW National Organization of WAY!!!

i meen what NOW are we talkuing about now? :)

Answer 5

Yes, the National Organization for Women.

Answer 6

No, time is fluid. There is no static moment in time where we can stop and say that moment exists apart from the rest of the flow of time.

We only devised units of time as a way to measure it. Units of time are a tool and do not represent reality as we experience it.

Answer 7

If we focus in on the exact "now", we are speaking of something which we are never really conscious of since we only experience the "now" which we would call the present instant, a few milliseconds later. I wonder if astronomical and atomic clocks are set to compensate for our sluggish consciousnesses.

Answer 8

Now is the only thing that you can be sure exist.

Answer 9

It is the Zero point and so theoretically it does not exist but practically taking little from the (-) side and little from (+) side we make a now.

Answer 10

Yes, because events happen in quanta; and "now" or the present is a series of quanta of a relative length (indeterminate length of quantas), as our perception goes through parallel processing to keep track of multiple objects of sense and events percieved.
