1) Whilst thinking, I noticed a few things regarding language and time. Perhaps this has been asked and discussed before, but I haven’t come across it. The use of the present tense in Turkish and the present tense suffix in English are perceptually different. In Turkish, it conveys both the present moment and refers to the action in general. In English, however, it refers to things happening in the very moment, in the flow of the present. That is my understanding. Those who know English well will understand what I mean and correct me if I’m wrong. When I discussed this with an AI, it backed me up. If you’re curious, I can elaborate further. How can we use this aspect of our language correctly and establish it as an instantaneous creation?


2) If energy moves only in relation to the present moment and time is not linear, is only the ‘now’ real? If the universe does not know linear time but only perceives the ‘now’, and if there is no such thing as linear time, then this is merely a concept our minds have invented to define time. After all, we are always experiencing the present. This situation raises certain questions. Can the present be bent? Is it perceived differently in every place, as in general relativity? Were the ancient philosophers referring to this when they said ‘everything flows’?

3) When we use the term ‘permanent’ whilst making an affirmation based on the present, are we not stepping outside the present?
 
You seem to be confused about small details that are not really important. Do not worry about it.

These may be minor details, but they’re not insignificant. I’m not worried, I’m just curious.
I’m particularly curious by nature. If you know the answer or have any comments, please do share them.
