There's a small delay between the world as you perceive it and what is actually happening.
It's very minute, but it's enough time to do something like...
Touch your ankle and your nose at the same time. You feel the sensation simultaneously.
That isn't because your nervous system's signals travel ridiculously fast (even though they do), it's because your brain has a very small margin of time where it filters and edits the information your sensory organs collect.

Technically, you are always stuck in the past.

Actually we are in the future, present, and past all the time. It depends on what time you base it on.

If you compare it to yesterday, we are in the future.
If you compare it to today, we are in the present.
If you compare it to tomorrow, we are in the past.

You guys are blowing my fucking mind. I love it.

aren't you just comparing time to itself?

(no troll intended, actual curious question)

That's what we basically do when we talk about time itself. We compare one point to another.

An example:
"I am going to go to the store." This sentence implicates that the action will be done in the future comparing it to the present.

"I am going to the store." This sentence implicates that the action is in the process and this can be described as the present due to the action being done in the same period as the time it was said.

"I went to the store." This sentence implicates that the action has been previously done and is completed which would make it in the past compared to the relevance of the time it was said.

Time can be subjected to the place and progress of all matter at one point compared to another.

learning =D with science and shit!

actually theres never a now because our mind processes what we see and everything a very small amount late so we are very very very slightly in the past

well....it wouldnt be the future when we get there, but it would be the future from where we started. so it still makes sense

what if. . . we're already in the future. and they just want you to think we're in the present.

<--- they used this to convince us.
