"It seems obvious to me, that the true present (the very moment you consciously experience, second-to-second) can not be fully analyzed until it has already happened. That's just logic."
And just as important is the fact that there is information "missing" from any "moment" analyzed?
The natural degrade rate for past events are what seperates the past from the present, all memory of events have to have some finite bit/it of info missing, how else would one know what is real and what is fantasy?.. better wording should be reality is 100% accurate in all measure attempts, the closer one gets to measure the "now_moment"..the accuracy increase. Try and measure 1 second "ago" and this is where everything from that moment/then has moved in time to such a degree one cannot locate whats being measured.
Interestingly, once "now" has occured like stated, you cannot measure 100% of anything, some part of what you try to measure will be smeared out in time, away from the present. Decay rates for matter are all time related, certain elements remain in the "now" at a slower rate, whilst others appear and dissapear with no fleeting glances.
Now here is the crunch factor?..if any particle has an extended life away from "now"(there exists a past where as far as we are concerned particles are then present) then, it can no longer have the same decay rates as current elements, all present and past elements are driven by Entropic values emmbedded witthin the decay rate?..the periodic table is the calander of universal change!
With regard to the measure and measure, humans are themselves a type of interference, by the act of measure! Does the photon know when it is being interfered by a human being or by non human devise's?..think about that consequence ;)
