    Wait, if the past is gone, by definition we are living in the future compared to then….Aren’t we always living in the future? Now is just the current future….And past, I guess…..Ever notice that the future never looks much different then the recent past?

    Time extends in all directions in three dimension. We only have awareness of one, being bound to forms contrived from chemical activity along that single line of progress, and we call that time. Danae is correct.

    Seems to me the concepts of “gone” and “not here yet” prove the existence of time.Or what does my watch measure?Remember watches?

    All that is, was and will be exists in an instant. What we call “time” is merely the way we experience it.

    Well if time doesn’t exist, then a whole lot of nothing is making me feel pretty old these days.

    The future is …NOW! No, wait a minute, now is the present. Whoops, now it’s the past. Hold on, here comes the future – Here it is – wait – Nope, it’s the present again. AAAH! Now it’s the past again. Drat! It was the future, but it skidded by as I was trying to grab it. …my head hurts.

    Great cartoon! The only think Danae is missing is a donation box. Surely seekers of truth will give generously for this kind of guidance! As an assde: If you accept string theory and/or “M” theory, there are 11 dimensions, time being one of them. So, if time does exit (I personally don’t think it does) than it must extend into 10 spatial dimensions. That will be $100 please!

    Isn’t telling someone you don’t care what they think more-or-less an admission that, at some level, you actually do?

    By the way, yesterday I asked for advice in getting rid of a diabolical little black oval that pops up and usually obscures a vital part of the last panel in a comic. The oval says, “Click to search,” and has a distorted little red square with a white magnifying-glass figure in it. Put your cursor on the oval, and a box appears underneath, saying “Search The Daily Meme on Bing.” I was directed to leave Internet Explorer and use Google Chrome, and did so with good effect. But today the thing is on Google Chrome, too! Halp!

    Someone once told me that the past is a cashed check . The future is a postdated check and the present is cash in hand. So spend it wisely

    Has there been ANY proof, or even any evidence, that there are any more than 3 dimensions? It appears to me that other dimensions are purely hypothetical.

    On a more serious note, I really do find it very disturbing that so may individuals of an entire generation have spent their lives physically, mentally and seemingly emotionally consumed by themselves in a world no larger than an elaborate version of Dick Tracy’s wrist communicator. To so profoundly be dependent on communication with other people without really caring what they think is the definition of nightmare to me, if not another definition of insanity.

    But that is only a mathematical construct. You only require those separate dimensions to construct an energy packet in space. When you get twelve, the equation fails. The first regular solid beyond the cube is the dodecahedron. This enables dark energy to construct three dimensional standing wave points with only twelve radiant sources, collapsing a specific range of frequencies to fixed energy packets, or matter. Unless you can add the twelfth dimension, it is a booger-brane theory. But an outside force is required where internal forces are postulated in the Standard Model.

    People, let’s not lose sight of the gag. What Danae means is time is as much an illusion as the idea she cares about what others think. It’s actually rather fun to say, “I don’t care,” and watch as someone’s ego deflates like a balloon. The more they rant, yell, and spew invectives, the more they try to cover up their own low self-esteem. Which says a lot about the readers of Non Sequitur.

    If I remember history right……and this particular part of history is always being re written….but Kennedy was assassinated by a bullet fired from …hold on for it….“The Grassy Knoll” So therefore if history repeats itself Danae better be ready to duck when her time comes!

    Thanks Radish – I might have to go that route, if nothing else works. HowsomeEVer, I’ve noticed the little oval on other sites besides GoComics. I think that seatllepi.com/comics-and-games or whatever it is has them, and maybe other sites. As soon as my 60th high-school reunion business if over, I might try to communicate with Bing, which I shall not state my feelings toward, even before this.

    Mystics are usually portrayed seated – is that due to lack of ability, lack of desire, a fat a$$, or just cause they are not into doing anything that requires physical activity?
