What is the present?

Chelsea was home and had been looking at her new clock since early morning.....when suddenly she had an idea.....so she went to the front porch where her Mommy and Daddy were sitting..... and asked her mommy”what is a moment”?..... Mommy said to Chelsea, “ Moments are sometimes called seconds and they also call moments the present”...


So Chelsea then asked, “but what about moments everywhere ? Are moments seconds everywhere? Even in the past and future, just like in the present?”.....Daddy looked up with a smile,”Why do you ask Chelsea,” said Daddy?.....”Because” said Chelsea, “seconds are something we use to count the moments, so the present must be time everywhere in a second?........”Not all moments are seconds” said Mommy to Chelsea, “ Moments can take less time than a second and it still is OK, to call those moments, also a present.

Chelsea now had something new to think about.....

Later in the evening It was time for Chelsea to go to bed and she asked her mommy not to read here a bed time story. “Why,” Asked Mommy. Chelsea said it was because she wanted to dream about the present.

As Chelsea fell asleep she had a dream. She saw the Earth and everything that happened in less than one second. It all seemed to be working very well together, better the faster than a second she went.

When she saw the present as everywhere in a moment she was then sure, that if every moment could be less than a second? Then all the presents, in the past and future? Could not only be seen, to be part of something separate, but also, as something that was the same.

Chelsea wakes up suddenly and see's her Mommy, sitting where she was when Chelsea first went to sleep.

She tells her Mommy about her dream, where all moments now and in the past and future are also a part of a single instant.


Her Mommy looked up at her and said,” Chelsea, you were only asleep for a moment”.


The next day on Chelsea's birthday her Mommy gave her a book. Chelsea was so happy because it helped her realize, that in her dream, she was thinking about singularities.
