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 “back there” behind us. It’s still there but, somehow, we aren’t.</p>
<p>The other way is to think of time as a process and, rather than being “back there”, 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’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’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>
