Thread: Does time exist? Is there such a thing as the past and future?

If you believe it, the passage of time is just a series of events; no one of them more important than the rest. But our brain is only able to interpret one at a time. Now is where your conscious mind exists; which gives us the impression that there is something behind us(past interpreted events) and something ahead of us(future uninterpreted events)....but they don't really exist.

Does time exist? If there is no past or future then what are memories and did they ever exist. What is now?
obviously, but it all feels like its all an illusion

lol your over thinking this of course time exists. you have memories of the past, and you plan what your going to do in the future, while you live and think in the present. Thats time for ya.

Your in the present now aren't you? Well remember this moment, and think about it tomorrow. And you will know that it was real.

If time were only a convention, not a physical quality, it wouldn't change due to special and general relativity.

Just one more example of how, as philosophers babble and focus on useless rhetoric, scientists deal with the real world.
