Some Brief Thoughts on Time.

Events generate what we call time. Time doesn't cause events. Any event MUST involve motion. No motion, no event. Motion of necessity is change. No motion, no change. Change is what we note as time passing. If there is no change, there is no time passing. Finally, the passing of time that we experience is an everlasting series of "now" events".

Every moment you experience is "now". That's all you have ever known - "now". You have not yet experienced the future, but when it arrives, it will be "now". You experienced events in the past, but when you experienced them it was "now". Nothing, no animal, mineral or vegetable ever 'experiences' anything other than at the "present moment". In fact one could define time as being an endless passage of "now". Now an interesting question is how long is "now"?

Now again, how long is "now"? Is there an absolute limit to how long or how short "now" is? Is the "now" when you step on a sharp tack the exact same "now" as when your brain records "Hey self, FYI I'm experiencing PAIN!"? Probably not because there is a finite interval or lag between the two "now" events. I'd have to maintain that the only "now" of any consequence is the "now" your brain records. If your brain isn't of course recording anything - like when you're in deep sleep - you're not experiencing any "now" at all.
