Is yesterday a certainty
if the past is dependent on the present?

Could the present and past
be from the future?

Would the universe have to be recreated
to make a doughnut from scratch?

If the Sun
which could burn out in about five billion years
revolves with another 100 to 400 billion stars
around the center of the Milky Way galaxy
about once every 250 million years
in a universe with ~140 billion galaxies
how long is a day to who?

If Earth spins ~1,043 mph at the equator
revolves at about 66,660 mph around the sun
around the Milky Way at about 489,600 mph
towards Andromeda at ~180,000 mph
towards the Local Super Cluster at about 540,000 mph
how fast are we surfing space?

Could everything be simultaneous?

Is everything but the here and now
supposition?

Past experience
to the extent that it is part of memory at all
is dismissed as the primitive refuge of those who do not have the insight
to appreciate the incredible wonders of the present

John Kenneth Galbreith

If there’s no certainty of what was, is, will be, or why
is the only certainty present thought?

Is the present a point of no return?

I doubt, therefore I think

I think therefore I am

René Déscartes

Is yesterday tomorrow today?

Does time exist independently
of human consciousness?

Were you to board a spaceship
head out from earth at 99.999999 percent of light speed
travel for six months and then head back home at the same speed
your motion would slow your clock
relative to those that remain stationary on Earth
so that you’d be one year older upon your return
while everyone on Earth would have aged about 7,000 years

Brian Greene

Can reality not be
or be more than you think?

If just under the speed of light travel slows time
and an hour can be experienced in a minute
can a minute be lived in an hour?

Here we are and it is now

Further than that, all human knowledge is moonshine

H L Mencken

Is everything just right?
