Despite all logic pointing to the falsity of it, I cannot stop seeing the past and future as places that exist.
In a certain way of thinking the past still exists as light waves traveling away from earth. You just need an impossibly large telescope to see anything of detail.
Why do you say they donβt exist? A specific past clearly exists, and if you believe in determinism, a specific future exists as well.
