[edit] What is the difference between future and past?
Is the only difference between future and past is that we can remember past, but cannot remember future? 93.178.119.100 (talk) 19:25, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Time assessment rating comment
Has a lot of bells and whistles, but still a Stub in terms of content.

[edit] Discussion
Hmmm. How do we know that the past exists? In reality, the past is just the present that is no more, so how can it be if it no longer is?
The past is just a construct in our minds. Hence it is always changing as we rebuild it with every new experience
[edit] The past does exist
The past is a mind category that we use and a thing that doesn't quite exist as a tangible thing but it exists nonetheless, it's just that humans are time constrained in the time continuum. And we don't change the past, we think we do, put what we change is our impression of the past. Not the past itself. --Rodrigo Cornejo 01:32, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
The past is not only mind category, but also a physical one. What scientific source does deny the physical existence of the Past? гык 11:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Category:Past?
Why don't we include the past-related things into their category?
- The past is the object of such fields as history, archaeology, archaeoastronomy, historical linguistics, geology (historical geology), paleontology, paleobotany, paleoethnobotany, palaeogeography, paleoclimatology, cosmology
– or rather, their categories should be included, if they exist.
Also: memory, retro, antiquarian, fossil, history.

Is it alright to call past the "opposite of future"? 59.184.252.69 (talk) 18:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New "light cone" image
We have prepared a new "light cone" image. The intention was to imply the correct scale of space-time relative to the observer. Interstellar light-years vs years scales seemed appropriate. If you have any comments please post them at the Graphics Lab entry. Dhatfield (talk) 22:37, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
