Now the question as to whether or not time has an objective view is kinda interesting isn't it? How human beings can perceive the passing of time really comes down to a number of factors, we always talk about how some movies feel longer than others even though they are objectively the same amount of time. Clearly emotional states or sense of clarity can cause your senses to elongate or dim your perception.
In the broader scheme of things, we have to consider time as a dimension of the universe. Objects have observable decay, suns grow and collapse, and from our limited perspective time moves in a straight line. We see things only from our moment on that time line.
But does the past exist? Does the future exist? Well, yes. We have to believe it does. These things certainly didn't "never" exist. But do they stop existing just because our perception of time has jumped forward? Does the future not exist simply because we aren't there yet?
Does our perception in the universe shape the current state of time? Or is ALL of time already in existence? I was about to replace the word "already" with "currently." But the word, "current" seems so limited in scope.

Went cross-eyed halfway through.
