If the past can change, please change the order of the horses at Aqueduct that crossed the finish line so the horse I bet on to win actually won instead of coming in fifth. If the future can change, please tell me which horse I should bet on to win tomorrow. > [Platt] > > What occurred yesterday is only in present memory today. > > No. Long ago tetonic plates crashed into each other.

Nobody experienced the plates crashing into each other, but somebody theorized that the event occured and somehow you became familiar with the theory. So it only resides in your present memory, and the memory of others who know about the theory. > [Craig] > > The present will soon be past. > > [Platt] > > To be instantly replaced by a new present, ad infinitum.

When and if you manage to escape the present as you go about your daily life, do let us know your secret. As they say, you'll never get out of this world alive. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
