The NOW Paradoxon, 2024, D.N.K. / FILOART

 

Subjective Experience

The "now" is often considered a subjective experience, unique to each individual. It encapsulates the moment a person is currently experiencing, encompassing their thoughts, sensations, and perceptions. 

Fleeting Moment 

The NOW is a fleeting moment that passes quickly and constantly changes.

 

Immeasurability 

The NOW cannot be precisely measured as it is a fleeting moment that constantly changes.

 

Now is Not a State

Contrary to static states, the NOW is dynamic and fluid. It defies categorization or confinement, existing beyond the constraints of fixed states or conditions. Instead, it is a continuous unfolding of existence, ever-present yet ever-elusive.

 

Now is Not Now

In a paradoxical twist, the very notion of "now" becomes elusive upon closer examination. What we perceive as the present moment is but a fleeting glimpse, forever slipping into the past even as it unfolds before us.

 

No Beginning, No End

The NOW has no clear beginning or end; rather, it seems to unfold continuously.

 

Infinity

Since the "now" is always present and constantly changing, it is often regarded as infinite.

 

Living in the Past

An intriguing perspective suggests that humans may not directly experience the NOW itself but rather the past. This notion arises from the time required to process sensory information, implying that our perception lags slightly behind the present moment. Thus, only the information processing in our bodies constitutes the true essence of the NOW.

 

Now in Quantum Mechanics

In the realm of quantum mechanics, the concept of NOW takes on new dimensions. Quantum phenomena, such as superposition, challenge traditional notions of time and reality, suggesting that particles can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This raises profound questions about the nature of time and the role of consciousness in shaping our perception of the NOW.

 

As we move through the complexities of the NOW, we embark on a journey of discovery and reveal the levels that lie within our existence.
