We cannot perceive something as happening right now if we are going to completely forget it in the future.

Explain if you want to.

Well.. it is a complete sentence. But it's dabbling in some quantum theory stuff.. you know the whole being in two places at once, alive and dead at the same time, etc.

sounds like some philosophical bs

So its theory and therefore cannot be proved as fact?

Actually we cannot perceive something as happening right now because every sensory perception we have are not instantaneous, and on top of that some of the things those senses perceive, as in sight and hearing, are not instantaneous. Light has a finite speed, sound has a finite speed. Anything you perceive has already happened.

XD

Well I didn't mean instantly perceive it. I meant having the understanding that 5 minutes ago was actually 5 minutes ago.

ya iono man, it doesnt matter cuz it might has well just happened instantaneous to our senses. and we can track it in time.

so iono where ur going with what ur saying and what it has to do with the OG question. some nigg at the begiining said something about being in 2 places at once and everyone got trolld

But that's not the present, 5 minutes ago is the past.

E:
In a relativistic sense, and within the limits of the english language, we only perceive in the present. So the future has no bearing on it. The past does, in that all of the past is necessarily contained in the present as a limiting factor of what is/was possible.

If you're trying to construct an argument, you need some supporting statements.
