Thoughts on Time

This isn't my submission. I just wanted to toss down some thoughts on time.

Take a look at your reflection in a mirror. Is that you? Right now? Are you sure? Maybe you changed a fraction of a second ago, and the light just hasn't reached your eyes yet. You're always looking into the past.

It's kind of ludicrous for me to think I can comment on the current status of the world. As soon as I've finished typing this sentence, things may have changed entirely! Once this post is up, the world might be gone! As soon as we're back in class on Monday, the Large Hadron Collider will have been activated; maybe it will have created a black hole and ended all life as we know it. You should probably refresh this page to make sure.

These words still here? Good.

Light from the sun takes eight minutes to get here. If the Sun were to wink out right now, we'd not have the foggiest notion for long enough to watch a viral video. Twice.

Scientists say that time travel is impossible; but we're always looking into the past and we move into the future at one second per second every day of the week.

So what is my project going to be on?

Good question.
