well, if the past exists as radiation.. (kinda like the Big Bang still exists as some kinda background radiation) then it could be that it is in the form of light, heat, and vibrations and are simply expanding outward into the universe.
don't just think of it as US, but every atom in existance.
This would mean the the Present is constantly being destroyed and re-created... It is the constant destruction and reconstruction of the form of every particle in the universe that comprise the Present.
Time , in that sense, is the progression of change....
Concider however, the "levels" of change... from a galactic scale, to a quantum scale... Some things would seem to never change.. or to be "set" the way that they are... I believe that this is merely from our own stand point.. After all, if we were the size of galaxies, wouldn't human activity seem rather fleeting insignificant to us?
back to work..
oh yeah,, so if the "past" does exist still in the form of various radiation... that implicates that it wil always exist.. the past in it's entirety is still included in the "present".

First of all, if the past exists in the form of radiation, that means that the future exists as well. However, the future cannot exist because it hasn't happened yet. A logical impossibility.
Is it just me or does Kelvy's argument remind anybody of choas theory?
