actually we are always in the present the past is our memory and the future is what we want to be or see...and you speak as if it takes forever for our brains to react to what we see but if your just staring at a wall it would'nt matter. the wall isnt in the future or past its in the present always, until it leaves your sight then it will become the past, and if you think about seeing the wall again then it will become the future, the future and the past are only a state of mind and the present is where everything meets even if only for a passing moment in actual time but the brain, doesnt measure time, only perception.
