I'll have my PhD now.

The other day, as I feebly hung on to consciousness during my nap, I had a weird thought

You need to stop watching "Lost"... lol

[westcbear]

Heh heh.

This is totally different from LOST. They kept saying that no matter what you do, you will always follow the same path, the same outcome will occur. I'm saying that the present changes constantly, we just don't realize it because if there is a change in the past, in the present it feels like it's always been that way.

I see it similarly, except that, everything has already happened. Time is like a giant novel.

You could go an fiddle with the plot-line somewhere, but it doesn't rewrite the story, later on in the book....it just seems weird.

[westcbear]

Actually, that is the complete opposite of the way I see it. :o) I'm saying that the present is ever changing because of the past. If we change something in the past, the present WILL change. The thing is we in the present don't realize it because any change will seem like it's been that way all along. (You could also think of us in the present actually being the past ourselves, and we are changing future people's lives who are living them thinking they are in the present.)

This sort of thinking does to my head what your icon here does to yours. :o)

Oh, Jayson's CAMERA did that to my head......The present IS the past, because it goes by so quickly, we cannot be fully aware of it, until it is already history!
