Do your past, present and future all exist right now?
Are you watching this video, being born and lying on your deathbed at this very moment?
Surprisingly, the answer could be yes.
But how can that be?
What does that even mean?
How does time work?
Imagine the universe like a child painting pictures on paper.
Each picture shows everything that's happening in the universe in a single moment.
With each new moment, all kinds of things occur everywhere – people are born and die, galactic civilizations expand, you miss the bus – and our universe-kid makes a new picture that replaces the old one.
In this way you get something like a movie – only the moment we're in right now is real.
