We are always looking backward in time throught the channels of our memory lanes. When we observe the nightsky of stars or looking through the most powerful optical telescopes or listening with the most sensitive radio telescopes, we are merely looking and listening the past.

That's because distance makes things have to take time to move.

That is correct. But the motion is into the past not into the future.

The motion is neither,it moves in the eternal now,the past is
now forgotten,the future is now re-membering..Past and present are only
realitive terms,and have no meaning in the eternal now!




kind regards michael.

Do you mean the distant, distant past? I still can have vivid recollections of things that I did 50 years ago. The motion is that of the mind thru the eyes.

If this is supposed to be a philosophical discussion there is no space for mythological or theological explenations or theories.

If we want to discuss when/how/why/what is alive and exists, we must determine what existing and living are first.

We exist exactly at the edge of the universe and looking in to see how it all began but somehow we cannot look out to see what the future holds.

Correction: We are at the end of OUR universe. Not of THE universe. That small difference leads to totally opposite views about the universe. We cannot see what is the future of OUR universe in that we don't know how our understanding of the universe will be in the future. But, don't we? But scientists and philosophers definatelly do, that is the principle of wisdom and knowledge: to predict and understand.
