“How much is required?
See, we have these concepts.
The Past, The Present, The Future.
The Past I get.
It's everything that happened before.
And The Future is everything that's still to come.
But what is The Present?
Think about light, about The Speed of Light.
Yeah, no matter how close something is, it still takes time for its image to reach your eye.
My glasses, say.
I show them to you, and it takes time for the image to reach your eye.
And more time for that signal to go from your eye to your brain, and even more time for your brain to process what you're seeing into information your body can react to.
Sure, it's millionths of a second, but still, it's not now.
So, My Theory is there •is• no Present.
There's only Past and Future.”
