Why Reality isn't Real [04:41] - Sciencephile the AI

We're technically constantly living in the past, given the lag between the moment the present reality occurs and the moment it is finished to be perceived/interpreted by the senses/body/brain/consciousness

This is an undeniable fact, it's a mere technicality given the duration of the "lag" of about a fraction of milliseconds, but it remains true nonetheless

Now, what I wonder is, how can it be possible conceptually speaking, to experience "future past"; as in having access to memories of events that haven't occurred yet... Given the fact that you can't access an "archive"/information that doesn't exists, yet... Then it would eventually imply that "present reality"/"objective reality" isn't "objective reality", but a delayed version of "objective reality" induced by the limitation imposed by the speed of light in he realm of matter for instance

It would be a case of "objective lag", over the "interpretation lag" we're already experiencing.

>Faster-than-light (also superluminal or FTL) communications and travel are the conjectural propagation of information or matter faster than the speed of light.

>The special theory of relativity implies that only particles with zero rest mass may travel at the speed of light. Tachyons, particles whose speed exceeds that of light, have been hypothesized, but their existence would violate causality, and the consensus of physicists is that they cannot exist. On the other hand, what some physicists refer to as "apparent" or "effective" FTL[1][2][3][4] depends on the hypothesis that unusually distorted regions of spacetime might permit matter to reach distant locations in less time than light could in normal or undistorted spacetime.

>According to the current scientific theories, matter is required to travel at slower-than-light (also subluminal or STL) speed with respect to the locally distorted spacetime region. Apparent FTL is not excluded by general relativity; however, any apparent FTL physical plausibility is speculative. Examples of apparent FTL proposals are the Alcubierre drive and the traversable wormhole.
