2. This video is complete contradiction to what I have known/read since years so i have hard time in considering this. Many say there is only "NOW" since there is neither past nor future hasnt happened yet. And to be honest, I didnt even get this video. Someone explain in few words?

3. If I can't see my past with a telescope and since I'm experiencing a small past as my now and since there is no now how can time be real for anyone except in our brains? If there's no now that should mean that the only reason we can remember the past means that the future is only and event in space and time doesn't exist since we can't even talk about it since there is and never will be a now if there is no now that means that there isn't a past nor a future

4. If I remember where I saw something and if someone else on a distant planet can see what I remember with a telescope then why can't I see what I remember with a telescope as well?

5. If there is no simultaneity
   If there can be a decoherence and the collapse of the wave function into a single state then could we be in a black hole? Such as my previous question asking if we could see earth during its formation 4.5 billion years ago or for that matter 10 minutes ago ? Why cant we see the collision of the neutron stars that produced our solar system?

6. I understand why we see galaxies in their past but is there a reason we couldn't see the earth during its formation in our own past with a telescope?

7. The Planck units I'll tell you that this video is caption is b*****
   Space and time are both digital that being the case there is a now

8. promosm 🤘

9. Other people say there is only now.

10. I was tired but now I'm trapped.🤓😽🦜

11. The music, like the message, is at once chill, grand, and somehow slightly ominous. I love this stuff and it makes me feel so many different things.

12. Honkai: Star Whale

13. I wonder how high functioning autism affects these processes?

14. You end up with infinity

15. What happens when your small enough for time to almost be still. And fast enough for time to almost be still.. like a photon

16. So speed makes things slow down and size makes things slow down… hmmmmmm…. speed and size have the same effect. The faster you travel the slower time is. The smaller you are the slower time is

17. Time is a conceit.

18. The eternal soul travels so much faster than the speed of light, now & forever the self replicating DNA exists in the objective now.

19. There is only the present. We are forever trapped in the present. The past can be remembered but we never can go back. The future can be planned but we can never move faster than the present. Does time exist? Only as a man made concept. Unless we become massless. Time then becomes meaningless. A photon of light has no concept of time.. it’s massless.

20. There is only now.

21. This was an incredible video. Thank you

22. So basically, nothing is instantaneous, not even light.

23. As a kid I remember playing around saying " the future is now! No, now! No….now!!!"

24. 39:37 and that is the only real answer to the glass half full or half empty question.

25. Everything is relevant, but only 'now' actually exists.

26. I find it remarkable when we can't make and definitive claims about consciousness, that people make claims completely dependant on and emerge directly from, conscious perception. Sorry but there IS a Now. Even if it's ultimately an illusion, it's still real to us, and that is a real layer of reality. If you can't start from the notion that some properties of reality are fundamental and others are emergent, and both are equally real and important – you shouldn't be talking about science. There is classical mechanics in physics, and there is quantum mechanics in physics. The idea that classical mechanics aren't real because the quantum is more fundamental is absurd and idiotic, considering we can literally measure classical attributes, as well as predict them using said classical mechanics. Classical mechanics are an emergent property of systems that have coupled together to create micro and macroscopic systems, much larger than individual quantum systems. Likewise, regardless of whether or not the present moment, the now is just a convention we use linguistically when we talk about taking a single slice of spacetime at any given moment – and in reality all time is happening at once – we still consciously experience a Now, a single slice out of the rest of spacetime. It is an emergent property that comes out of the conscious experience of spacetime. People forget that illusions are real. It's not what is actually there, but it's a perception and that perception you are having is REAL and is happening to you.

    It's like when people say what happens in video games or movies and tv isn't real. On some level, of course it's not real. It's literally nothing more than people called actors playing make-believe, and in many cases using simulated effects. Some things that happen in it may not even be physically possible in our world. Yet, the impact on us when we give ourselves to these experiences is very real indeed. Our heart beat changes, we sweat, get nervous or anxious. We may feel happiness, anger, or sadness – hatred or love, compassion or indifference. Chemicals shift in our brains. Our muscles relax or contract. The very meaning of our lives, or the course of it may literally become altered as a result of these experiences. The impact on our lives is real, regardless of where it comes from. The level of reality, the level of illusion you want to categorize it as is up to you, but is ultimately arbitrary.

27. 18:20 space whales

28. what a pile of banalities

29. You tend toward musing the things I muse on LSD or mushroom trips in general, but this episode more than usual.

30. The eternal now

31. I love listening to your videos during hale-bale makin' with my tractor! Wroooom!
    Also thx for the " earthshine" I tough I was a loonatic 😅😅

32. This makes no sense. Full of senseless words that are nothing new.
