What's the point of the past?

[CaptainWacky]

It doesn't exist anymore.

 

[A_Real_Prick666]

Or the absolute present for that matter. And the future is only a concept. Therefore, you don't exist in real time and space except for a brief instant. This gives us license to not give a fuck anymore and do what we want.

The point of the past is to torment us with the stupid things we've done.

scientists should act

maybe if they can ever break the speed of sound the universe will stop or we'll all die in a fiery explosion cause God will be pissed. (ok I know, there is no God)

 

[CaptainWacky]

We come from nothing and go back to nothing, so what have we lost? Nothing! Oh, except ALL OUR FUCKING EXPERIENCES, MEMORIES, EMOTIONS, PERSONALITY ETC. Death is a really stupid idea.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Dude, get some experiences.

Chuck Yeager broke the speed of sound and wet his flightsuit.

isn't time relative anyway?
aren't there multi- dimensions all around us as it is?
multitudes of alternative scenarios being played out as we speak? (ok, write)
who said time was linear anyway?
who can prove time is linear?
if we use the working hypothesis that time is NOT linear, then that changes our interpretation of what "the past" is, doesn't ? Maybe there IS NO TIME, ergo, NO PAST.
Therefore: NO WORRIES WACKY. there no longer needs to be a point.

Sweet Zombie Jesus. Listen to me....
where's my second coffee?

 

[CaptainWacky]

[A_Real_Prick666]

[curiousa2z]

And taxes.
