Does NOW exist?

The journey of Time, from matter to your mind.

What is Now?

Let’s take 5 million years ago, to be generous. Did reality exist before us, children of the chimp? Of course, yes. Reality does not need us to exist. But the problem is not reality itself, it is now.

In physics, now is relative to the observer. My “now” is not the same as yours, nor the same as a rock’s. In Einstein’s relativity, there is no universal present, only events and observers. Yet we feel that now must be more than a perception.
