Since we are living in the future.why do people use present in time???

Question

to randoming :Whatabout ,every second that passes by .isn.t that coming from the future???

To Joan H.. sure we had to name passing of the time .otherwise how do we communicate if we dident name the subject we whant to talk about.we call it future and it represents the time we have not enterd, still to come.

And what about our each of the four divisions of the year .( spring ,summer,autumn,and winter,) dont they come after one another ,

Answer 1

No, time is not coming from the future. We are living in the present, not the future.

Time is a very complicated issue in physics. You could go to physics questions to pursue this.

One sure thing, our seconds, minutes and hours and the numbering of years and centuries are totally arbitray and a human invention.

Answer 2

We are living in the present. The future is what people called the 2000s in the past.

Answer 3

time is a concept....much like a circle.

we can see things that lead us to believe that they exist...but they dont.

now did not come from there and is heading to somewhere else because that gives time a physical quality...we say that time goes by because it takes time....which is really just an increment of measurement for anything to occur.
