I have found that so many things when carried out to the Nth degree, become infinity.
This leads to my belief that the reality we live in, isn't reality at all. But that's another discussion.
Anyway, this thing we call "present" doesn't really exist, but for an infinitely small clip of time. Generally speaking, there is no such thing as present. Only past and future.
