Well, I am of the understanding that randomness exists, and thus determinism is bunk, and thus the future is not "set in stone" as it were.

Otherwise, who fucking cares?

[Pirate Utopian]

Noooooooo future!

[Verix]

yea but maybe time is like a road and we all traveling down it, as such the past while behind us still exists which means the future in front of us must also exist

My bullshit-o-meter just broke.

It will, and that's the only a priori (please don't jibe me, Desrumeaux:() knowledge that we can have. But there is no fate.

ok i mean to say humans belive that times revolves around them that what happening at this moment is happening universally in time but what if were just living in a part of time and everything that as happened, and will happen exists

The future is not set in stone. Time is extremely malleable, wibley wobbly timey wimey. If you could travel though time then nothing would be 100%. The future as of current is the result of our current action or lack of. The past also directly effects the present, for example if time travel was possible and I ran into my former self and did something, then the only reason I would know how to do that thing is that I saw myself do it I the past. I got a bit of topic there, but I find the theoretical ideas about how time works extremely fascinating. :laugh:

One other thought, we never really live in the present. Everything we see is in the past (due to the fact that it takes light time to travel to our eyes). And we never stay still, the future is always catching us, moving forward, so in a way we live in the future and see in the past. :laugh:

Not really, 'the future' is just a perception.
