--the idea that the past still exists, --- the idea that the past still exists-- DJW
Time as such always existed, stretching into the eternal past, and already extends into the eternal future, because
Energy can not be created or be destroyed, and it obviously needs time to exist in, eternally. but, we have travelled from our past into the present, toward our future time, so,
our past does not exist anymore nor does our particular future yet either. Lots of light and sound is still on the way from the past though, and we will continue to receive it from the now empty past, some of it 13 billion years old, -- all from an now empty past.
As for the eternal ESP domain, wait for a message.
enJoy.
