Does the Past Still Exist?

Is everything just confined to the present moment? Is the past gone forever, or does it linger on in some form? We explore some of the concepts and theories about our understanding of existence, including Presentism, Block Universe, Last Thursdayism, and Time Travel. Drawing upon the wisdom of Albert Einstein and the theory of space-time, we unravel the notion that time is more than just a linear progression.

Reminds me of Bach's book, ONE......I've read it 4 times...try it.

This brings to mind a common thought, I hope, that not just I have. Man always labels things they don’t understand or are unable to explain that then gets passed through the grapevine for discussion that can’t be had for a belief that doesn’t exist yet. If the past isn’t real, then the Bible is just a fable. Prophecy is just happenstance.

Does a raindrop still exist after it has hit the ground?

[@Dooguk]

As it ceases to drop I'll say no.

The past did exist and the present does exist. Both states require each other… like two sides of a coin. The future, on the other hand, is like the weird relative that shows up once a year at Christmas, gives a bag of weed for yankee swap, eats way too much food, pisses everyone off, then vanishes for 364 days.

There is no Past, Present or Future. There are only Fleeting moments of Now!

Everything you are currently experiencing happened in the past

The present exists, the past existed, and the future is what will exist. So, no. It no longer currently exists.

[@rosswilson9039]

the past is relevant to present and always dictates what is present. so without past being relevant to present then the present wouldn't exist. so yes the past does exist but not the same way as the present.
