has no basis in validity. We live in the ‘now’. We know this from the previously experienced ‘now’s in our memory(past). From our previous ‘now’ experiences, we expect more ‘now’s(future).
We bound this concept of linear time in three parameters, past/present/future. Some of us are aware that the ‘now’ is experienced a few microseconds after the event. Does this matter? It seems as close to the ‘now’ as we can get.
We plan our lives on future events, (payday)
ALL observed events are a function of time, be it the ‘now’ or future.

But that's just it. Current mainstream Science through "experiments" are saying that the physical brain is not able to experience the Now.
This is because of the incorrect viewpoint of Linear time. IE: > Past > Present > Future.
You yourself say we can only live in the Now. So are you agreeing Now is all there is? What we think of as the "past" is simply memories that we are having within the Now.

The behavior of linear time is modeled as if each of us is locked to a single point(now) which is a moving point on a time line. The direction of this ‘now’ movement is toward the future This yields the behavior of a vector, a vector of change with magnitude ‘delta Time’ and direction ‘Future’.
IMHO, viewing linear time as a vector instead of a philosophical unknown is more beneficial and objective than subjective observations of the ‘now’. Subjective views lead to discussion without resolution I prefer the objective vector view, which leads to a resolution that cosmic expansion creates time, not mankind.
We can quantify time in units of seconds, minutes, hours, years.
We can qualify time as a vector OR project it into a philosophical mist of the ‘now’ and nonexistence.
Others are remaining objective and discoveries are being made……
I take that bet…….He has already succeeded.

There has been a successful experiment to show Causality is not what we thought it was.
In 1982 Alain Aspect successfully showed that electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them, whether an inch, 100 feet or 10 billion miles apart.

It seems Quantum Physics is taking us down the path of mystical experience.
