Question.

Isn't the "present" just an interpretation? In the tiny amount of time it takes for sensory information to get to us, travel our nerves, and be processed, the real present is something new. It's like when you close your eyes and listen to a jet that has broken the sound barrier, you're hearing and envisioning it in one place, but it's truly in an entirely different place. Or our images from space: the farthest galaxy is 13.3 billion light years away, that means the light we're seeing originates from only 400 million years after the big bang. Are we technically eternally living in the past, and the true present actually belongs in the future?
