It's not really an opinion is it? It's just a fact. The truth.


Do you really believe some people have psychic powers or the ability to predict the future? Wouldn't they use their power for either a) making loads of money or b) saving the world rather than getting ?50 a pop for telling gullible types that they'll meet a tall dark stranger?

And if there was no one there to see it at the exact time that it was posted - did it make sense?

Not that it matters - you are all figments of my imagination anyway.

No. I don't mean the past exists in the present. Only that the present is all that exists now. What happened in the 'past' may indeed affect the present because most of us find it difficult not to try and live there or in the future. Thereby missing the only moment they have that's actually real, the present.


We are in the top half of the hourglass. What's in the bottom half is what was and is no more.

But isn't the star proof that the past existed in the past, or are you suggesting that light magically materialises in your eye?

We good test for it but tests imply cause and effect which, though rather begging the question again, probably imply that time is linear therefore the past existed.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
