So tell me, do you exist before RIGHT NOW!? I don't know either

A fair philosophical question I'll leave you to thrash out with Ferg. Can I prove it? Certainly not. Though I see enough cause and effect in the universe that has brought me to this point to satisfy me that we are here now only because of the billions of years that have proceeded this instant - including the last few where the computer I'm typing this on was created.

Actually I can prove that I existed five minutes ago quite easily. I made a cup of coffee five minutes ago. ( I do drink a lot of coffee, don't I? Actually I spill most of it here on UT!) This coffee beside me where did it come from? Well it could be a coincidence of consecutive "nows" but I think I probably made it a bout five minutes ago. If this is "proof" or not is a moot point but let's say it is, then I could extrapolate the entire universe from the causal sequence of events since the big bang (if there was such a thing). The margin of error allways has Heisenberg lurking near by!
Cheers
Ferg
