What do you call the time-barrier that prevents us from experiencing the past and the future? The invisible wall that separates our “now” from the past and the future on a timeline?
The past| The Now | The Future
Is there a word for the “|” ?
I call it a fantasy of your own imagination and failure to understand the meaning of time.
If there is ever a paradox, your first duty to understand it is to question the assumptions that make it appear to be paradoxical.
It is like causality, only a metaphore.
Do you have any name for the concept that prevents us from experiencing the past and the future?
The word “now” is a POINT. It is like saying 12 O’clock. Prior to 12 O’clock is the past. After 12 O’clock is the future.
<<<<<past.future>>>>>>
The point is “now.”
event horizon
That is not a question.
The past and future are not separate places.
We are the embodiment of past experience, and the creators of the future, one second at a time.
Past and future are not places, they are descriptions of time that has past (the past) and time that has yet to come (the future).
If you think the past and the future are not separate, then you are saying that if it’s 12 O’clock now, that the previous 11:30 of the past is the same as the future 12:30.
Here’s a clue: At 12:00, it is now, and 11:30 is the past, and 12:30 is the future.
At 12:00, 11:59:59 is the past, and 12:00:01 is the future. That is a fact. If you deny that you are playing word games with yourself!
you can slice smaller than a second & you both know it

I think it is called “existence”.
The past and future do not exist - they are merely the residue and fate of what was and will be.
since several moments/nows are blended before/beyond the beginning, they exist, just not necessarily in/to our now (us)
Your point is that you can have a smaller slice of time prior to and past 12:00??
12:00 is a POINT IN TIME.
.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 second prior to 12:00 is the past
.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 second after 12:00 is the future.
Wherever you go, t(here) it is now. exact numbers are not helpful to explain it.
But Google atomic clock. The second is not the smallest unit.
So there is .00001 seconds in the past at 12 O’clock is what you’re trying to say? You’re also saying that at 12:00 there is .00000001 seconds in the future?
A point has no dimensions, it is a point.
Anything prior to 12:00 is the past. At 12:00 (now) anything after 12:00 is the future. Simple.
Anything less than 100 is 99 and some change.
Anything more than 100 is 100 and some change.
Less <100
More >100
Past < 12:00
Now = 12:00
Future > 12:00
A moment is more like pi. No limit after the decimal.
You’re getting cooler, not warmer.
What are you defining a “moment” as, a user defined duration of time?
So a moment is 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 3 years? 2,000 years? 50 billion years? Are they all a “moment” to you?

…but don’t forget that in doing your calculations, this is all being sustained in God‘s mind and he can end it arbitrarily without any math.
Make plans. God laughs.
Bless your heart.
Red or green it’s that pink or shoelaces. That, and dirt = air and water = fire. So that proves boots are green!
All we need to do is put our heads together and manifest a better future just like we’re upholding the universe right now. Before we were born. Humans. We’re so retarded. We’re OK with a bunch of imperfect minds creating and sustaining the entire universe (as we rush headlong towards our own self-destruction), but we don’t want to accept a perfect mind who could actually do it (& does, in fact).
Radio belly! Cat shovel!
You’re pretty good at this game. Let me try:
Sugar and gold are cars and trucks. If then what or I am so red potatoes don’t. Money and would get here this does you. Know light and has did find.
Basically & precisely, that is essentially not what I’m trying to put forth.
