Trying to be clehverr.
"Our experiences teach us, overwhelmingly so, that the past is different from the future. The future seems to present a wealth of possibilities, while the past is bound to one thing, the fact of what actually happened. We feel able to influence, to affect, and to mold the future to one degree or another, while the past seems immutable. And in between
past and
future is the slippery concept of
now, a temporal holding point that reinvents itself moment to moment, like the frames in a movie film as they sweep past the projector's intense light beam and become the momentary present. Time seems to march to an endless, perfectly uniform rhythm, reaching the fleeting destination of
now with every beat of the drummer's stick.
... Our world seems to adhere perfectly to a one-way temporal arrow, never deviating from the fixed stipulation that things can start like this and end like that, but they can never start like that and end like this."
- The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene
