While time is a concept, objects in the physical universe can be shown
to have duration. Watch the speedometer on your car? Wait for a
scheduled train? Try manipulating that reality?
You yourself said there was no you until the cell divided.
A few things need to be straightened out here.
For awareness there is no time, no past, no present, no future.
For ego (which perceives late by the way) duration shows up as time.
There are probable outcomes.
There is no this?
There is an unprovable and improbable outcome that can be seen.
For whom?

I'm going to go back to nailing hot chicks.
There is no "I".
There is no going to go back because there is no future.
There is no time. There is no past and future. Only present.
There is nobody nailing. There is no space.
There are no chicks. There is no man or woman.
It is a problem of your perception that you perceive some chicks as
hot and some as not hot. There are no hot chicks.
Now go and jerk off to porn you fucking bastard.
You are a worthless bag of meat and bones which can be fed to the
dogs after harvesting your organs for the organ harvest market.
Nobody needs you except for your eyeballs, your heart, lungs,
kidneys. Rest of your body will go to feed the pigs.
What if you die now ? Yeah what if ?
