Great question to use as a jumping off point! Now's now wont
exist a moment later. So where did it go. It was real, wasn't it?
So where is a moment's ago now now?

It would seem that the future becomes the present now and quite
quickly becomes the past. Can we equate "now" with "reality?"

So just how long does "now" persist?

Does future reality exist? If not, when and how is it created?
And how does that happen so quickly? I can't tell when "now"
stops existing as now and becomes the past.

The problem, of course, is that this isn't physics although we are
talking about physical property more properly called existence.

Where is Augustine when you need him? How large would his "book of
now" be?

And the beat goes on...

Although I am having fun with these speculations, these questions
are all valid and exceptionally good questions that no one has
resolved with good answers. But they're open to everyone who wants
to try.
