Neuroscience, Buddhist philosophy, and quantum physics on the illusion of the past, present, and future

<p>One is to see time as being like a road down which we are traveling. The present is wherever we are on the road and the past is &ldquo;back there&rdquo; behind us. It&rsquo;s still there but, somehow, we aren&rsquo;t.</p> <p>The other way is to think of time as a process and, rather than being &ldquo;back there&rdquo;, it is simply gone.</p> <p>The third way to look at time is as being like any other dimension. Time itself is an illusion and we are like a string of paper dolls, stretched out along the road. We aren&rsquo;t moving at all and our perception of motion is a function of the different memories that appear in the brains of each of the dolls at each moment. We can&rsquo;t know that we actually experienced the moment before simply because we remember it. This is the perspective on time that Albert Einstein introduced us to.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/the-infinite-universe/neuroscience-buddhist-philosophy-and-quantum-physics-on-the-illusion-of-the-past-present-and-3059f4478927"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
