[QUOTE="Kairos, post: 183444, member: 10263"] The idea there is that the universe is one static (unchanging) thing. A moment in time is merely a slice in that unchanging thing, and your experience of time derives from your experiencing that thing one slice at a time in a sequential order from a specific point of reference. If this is true, then the past, present, and future are not "happening" at all. They simply are. The other side of that position is that the past and future do not exist at all. There is but one present moment that is constantly in flux. The third middle way is that of Aristotle, which requires you to understand act, potency, substance and cause, and I haven't the inclination to try to explain those concepts in a forum post. That is more inline with what I think, and I think science supports it much more than it does the other two positions. [/QUOTE]
