...We all could post at the Time Traveler's Forum, since we are all time travelers. Each of us moves through time (Time being illusionary, I believe) or perceives time one 'now' at a time. think of your life as a deck of cards stacked on top of a table, with each major event of your life a card. The deck is stacked with your 'conception' card on top, your 'birth card' under that one, your 'said first word' under that, and so forth. Going through life is parallel to going through that card deck one-by-one. Just as you can view only one card at a time, you can perceive only one event, or now, in your life at a time, even though all the cards exist simultaneously on the table top, just as all of the moments of our lives exist simultaneously.

Of course, this is only one theory
