Whilst the point of any given thing may not be obvious, there is, most certainly, a point to everything. There is a subtle implication in the concept of the space-time continuum that in order to get from point A (where we are at any given moment) to point B (the next step after point A), we must, in fact, make a move. The fact that space and time are joined and there is a single entity, the continuum, that contains ALL of space and time is vastly important to your answer. The problem with giving a specific answer, though, is the fact that none of us know what 'the end result' is. Whilst it's completely true to state that the future already exists, we don't know what it is and have no access to it, so we can only speculate. Yet our ability to speculate is, invariably, short-sighted, as we lack omniscience and don't even see all the possibilities. So, whilst it may SEEM to be pointless at any given time, that is, most likely, down to the fact that the observer/speclator doesn't know where the universe is headed. If we knew what the 'end game' was, we might be able to more clearly infer 'the point' of any given situation and how it may relate to that 'end game'; but, our inability to know the future prevents us from seeing clearly what the purpose of 'now' is and our lack of omniscience stands in the way of a full speculation on what may be possible. Hopefully, you'll get from this response is that we can know, with certainty (because of the fact of a space-time continuum) that there is a point to whatever it is that we are doing, as it is part of the process that takes us from point A to point B, but we are hindered in, at least, a couple of ways from seeing/understanding clearly and, I'm afraid, that simply part of the challenge of life. Hope this helps clarify why 'the point' may 'seem' pointless' but, rest assured, if something has happened (or is happening), then it is a hard fact that it was (or is) necessary, as there are no unnecessary events in the space-time continuum. And that is a direct philosophical implication of Special Relativity -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
