I don't buy into ghost stories or the concept that the moon doesn't exist unless we are looking at it. The impermanence theories are only true regarding change. It shows how little we know about time and how the past, present, and future could exist simultaneously.

The perspective of time for a photon that began its journey 14 billion years ago is that no time has past because at the speed of light time stops. Our consciousness still sees the past. In the grip of super gravity, we are flung into the future compared to those who are not. Is there a particle that creates time? We have people who are looking for it. So far, relativity gives us some understanding, but perspective doesn't go very far.

Our consciousness sees things in terms of relationships with other things fairly well. The big picture or the theory for everything may be more than our consciousness will ever know. Some of us don't believe in can't. More power to them.
