False. All our sensory input is slightly delayed, and it takes time for our brain to process it anyway. So the past is the only thing that exists and we are all, always living in it.

Yes, I have been to the past. So have you. Both of us came from there.
You remember having been there, but can you prove it's not just hallucination or fake memories injected to your brain floating in formole in a laboratory ?
I'm a firm believer in Last-Thursday-ism, so I know in my heart of hearts there are at least 5 days of past
Oh yeah? Prove it! I don't see you there, do you?
I just wanna give a shoutout to "later" and "some other day" because that's when I'll be doing that thing I don't wanna do!
Past: contains hitler
Present: doesn't
Present wins
Is this what Gen Z motivational posters look like?
All moments in time are equally real, there is no privileged 'now' outside of the reference frame used to identify it.
It really annoys me that according to Laplace, a demon knowing the state of any particule in the universe could predict its evolution in the future, but quantum theory just say the opposit. Knowing current state of the univers, you can "predict" everything that has past, but not how it will evolve in the future. Like if present was the cause of everything that happened in the past and we just experiencing time backward.
Knowing current state of the univers, you can “predict” everything that has past
The observer effect is irreversible. Quantum mechanics is reversible only because the effect technically falls outside of the mechanics.
In related news, the entropy of a closed system is usually not constant.
Wouldn't the act of observing be baked in from the start, and therefore accounted for?
and most of the stars from the sky are already dead so were staring at the past when we look at night sky. also to underestimate someone you have been in the past or forget what you have done and put that to zero value is wrong. just saying in my case at least. i like the now, in the same time i don't.
