When is now? Seems like a pretty simple question… just look at your watch. But do you and I share the same “now”? Let’s journey from Einstein’s thought experiments about relativity to cutting edge neuroscience research to try and answer that question.

    According to general relativity, everything IS happening all at once (sort of). Regardless, to Einstein, next Wednesday at Pike's Peek was another point in space-time much like where you are, right here, right now, but also much like last Thursday in Dubai. All exist 'concurrently' within the fabric of space-time. Our inability to perceive more than three plus dimensions indicates that being able to do so would not, up to this point, make us significantly more 'fit'. Unless we are, of course, at the cusp of when having such perception may be essential.

    "that all moments are equally real and there's nothing special about the present moment except that you're experiencing it right now." I used to think of the world like that as a child, that everything is kept in it's own little place in history and once it happens it stays there, and isnt lost so the only thing that matters is that it existed once.

    Physicist Carlo Rovelli has a super interesting paper called “Neither Presentism nor Eternalism” that’s worth checking out if you’re interested in this stuff. He explains that while traditional presentism doesn’t make any sense with our modern understanding of physics, the “block universe” of eternalism isn’t the only philosophical alternative. It really comes down to what you truly mean by “present” and the ontological significance you apply to the idea of “reference frames.” Regardless of how you like to conceptualize time, I find his discussion to be very dope indeed 😎

    At a security station I have a monitor displaying feeds from dozens of cameras. Each camera has a different lag when sending me information. I can see people moving through hallways from different angles at different times. I can hear a door open before I see it happen. I can see someone walking on the sidewalk before they have left the building. This perception can make you feel like a higher being.

You can not add speed to light but the light is moving with the train with means it moving faster than the speed of light to . The right model the center of propagation of the light should stay where the guy on the station is not move along with the train. This means that both observers would see the light reaching the back of the train first.
