  2. The past has always happened. Which means the future has also always happened. The past and the future are the same. They are just two sides of the same coin. The future has been predetermined because every action we make is cemented into eternity and it was forced upon us by the past. Free will is something religious people argue about.
  3. Ultimately, the question of whether the future has already happened remains a topic of philosophical speculation and scientific inquiry. While theories like the block universe offer provocative insights into the nature of time, they also raise more questions than answers. As our understanding of the universe continues to evolve, so too will our ...

    The future has already happened. The earliest evidence for the full version of the saying was found by top quotation expert Fred Shapiro, editor of the Yale Book of Quotations, who kindly shared the citation with QI. In 1992 the San Francisco Examiner published an article about the nascent technology of virtual reality, and the journalist Scott ...

    In the block universe, then, what someone perceives as the future is what someone else saw as the past, depending on the person's position and motion. Events that have yet to happen for one person, it appears, have already happened for another. The future, though it remains unknown to you, seems to be written already.

    $\begingroup$ I'll leave the answers to those who can more correctly spell out relativity, but the concept of "not experiencing time" means just that: it has no concept of time. Thus, you cannot say an event "has already happened" because there is no concept of time to order the events with. (Hopefully I got this correct enough that, when the experts weigh in, their answer will agree with this ...

    Even though the future has already happened, time will go at this same pace unless we decide to travel in time. The co-existence of past, present and future won't introduce a great deal of difference though. If we are set to measure, there is past, there is a future and there is present. Our speed may mess with our experience of present ...

    I've seen much better discussions of how spacetime works in other popular science books; IIRC Penrose has a good one in one of his (again, can't remember which), along the lines of: your "past" is your past light cone, and has already happened; your "future" is your future light cone, and has not happened yet; the rest of spacetime is ...
