i think past present and future all goes in same time .past speed is slow and future speed is fast what u say?

I have always been interested in this.  I view time like a long chain being wrapped around a pole.  The more it wraps around the faster it gets.

well, we all assume that time flows in one direction and one thing follows another. Maybe that's just the way we see it. Try to imagine that you were a cartoon, 2D on a page, you have no concept of the 3rd dimension. If we could se everything that had happened at once, time wouldn't be linear but I digress. In effect non-linear time means that one thing would not necessarily come after the other e.g. I wrote this 'before' you asked the question.

yes... both the future and the past can be seen by a third person. send me your thumb impression (right) i will let you know about all your past including your Date of birth......

I do believe that it is.  For the past is what forges our future.  For example, all the things that happen to you in life help make you the person you are today.  You choices in life either make you a stronger person, or will defeat you in the end.

we travel in time as it is just only at the speed of our life and planet the thing to do is to step up or slow down the speed of the process then you are in a time machine

the future is now the past

The future and the past are only in our minds. All you have is the present, and if you cant concentrate on it, you are really missing out I guess.

In fact we indeed are traveling in time. But, only in one direction, i.e., towards the future; and that too, with a certain fixed 'speed' (call it, spending one second per second). Do you understand what I am saying? I am saying that we can not move backward towards our past, and , we have no control over the passage of time.\n\nThe special theory of relativity, however suggests a theoretical method to control the passage of time: Time dilation, which requires moving with speeds around the speed of light. The theory holds that, relative to a stationary observer, time appears to pass more slowly for faster-moving bodies: for example, a moving clock will appear to run slow; as a clock approaches the speed of light its hands will appear to nearly stop moving. However, this effect allows "time travel" only toward the future: never backward. \n\nMany in the scientific community believe that time travel is highly unlikely. This belief is largely due to Occam's Razor. Any theory which would allow time travel would require that issues of causality be resolved. What happens if you try to go back in time and kill your grandfather. Also, in the absence of any experimental evidence that time travel exists, it is theoretically simpler to assume that it does not happen. Indeed, Stephen Hawking once suggested that the absence of tourists from the future constitutes a strong argument against the existence of time travel - a variant of the Fermi paradox, with time travelers instead of alien visitors. However, assuming that time travel cannot happen is also interesting to physicists because it opens up the question of why and what physical laws exist to prevent time travel from occurring. \n\nFrom the above note, one can note two points:\n1. Time-travel is highly unlikely, and,\n2. Possibly, it is uni-directional (towards the future, not back to past).\n\nSo, it seems that knowing the future by visiting it is either not possible, or, once you are in your future, you can't come back to present to tell your friends that you know the future!!!\n\nPartly, knowing the future theoretically, is perhaps possible if you understand and meticulously use the principle of causality.

What time will your plane arrive? (Asks future tense, not present perfect - basically its the only one that sounds normal.)\nBy the time he comes home, I will have finished dinner. (Tense is correct.  Specifies event passed not event occuring)\nHe can predict how many people will be living in these regions.  (Can predict specifies indefinite future)\nThey will soon be able to solve the problems. (The other one simply does not make sense.)\nAccording to the timetable, the plane arrives at 7PM (For all I've been taught you want to avoid wordiness and to be verbs.  I'm honestly not really sure on this one.)

time is a consequence of non-simultaneity of everything. Sequenced events necessarily create time in their wake.\n"The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once" -Buckaroo Banzai

Only if you believe in time.\nAs a student of Zen buddism I have come to think of the here and now, this very instant, as eternity.\nThere is no future and past. Where do these things exist?\nOnly eternity exists in this very instant.

Cute question.  I'm almost tempted not to try and answer but only agree that you are right, it is just a wrong form of speech.  The truth is, though, we hear it, and it does make sense.  I think it makes sense when the "now" is used not as a reference in time but a reference in a sequence of arguments or acts, a reference in space if you want.  You'll present arguments, and before your conclusion, derived from those arguments, you'll say "now then."  Or you'll do some things like prepare various steps in a recipe, then before you move on, you say "now then."  Is this just more obtuse?

I'll start you off with the basics and I'm sure some good soul will fill in the details. Firstly, we must define "the past". The past is all time which precedes "the present". \n\nIn the past, dinosaurs roamed the Earth, JFK was shot and I typed the word "granule". In the hit movie "Back To The Future" starring Michael J. Fox, the main protagonist, Marty, travels into the past. \n\nThe past should not be confused with the future, which is that which has not yet happened. In the future, I will have my own jacuzzi.

According to Einstein, it's only possible to travel time to the future, although he never said that going back in time is impossible.\nTime slows down for you and your vechicle as you travel close to the speed of light (186,000 miles per second).  Anything outside is at normal time and speed obviously.\n\nTheoretically, if you travel 30 mins out into space at the speed of light and travel back to earth, you're only an hour old (by the way, at that speed, you've traveled an equivalent of six of our solor systems).  However, as you return to earth get ready to meet your great great grandson.\n***\nI don't know why.\nIf I did I'd own this freaking corporation.  *L*

Great Question! I have the answer!\n\nImagine you are moving an object from left to right. You will see there is a displacement and a definite time taken to move from one place to the other. \nImagine you are moving faster. Notice that the time reduces.\nNow you are moving in ultrafast speed such that the time taken is nearly zero. \nWhat does this mean? There has been a displacement with no time. \nThis is what is called Yoga! Ancient Saints use to travel in time space exactly by controlling their displacement at no interval of time.\nSo do not confuse yourself with the things which will not happen with our life.\n\nTimelessness would be felt in time machines, where in the the machine travels at a speed equal to infinity. Or atleast close to infinity!\n\nOk! is it possible to have a timelessness?\n\nThis looks like an imaginery thing. Just in fictions!

the present creates your future

Yes, but you can only go to the future, not the past
