Real physics is such janky bullshit, it sounds like bad sci-fi. "There's a cosmic speed limit, and time dilates as objects approach it, but all the math works out in the end because length contracts too."

> Where does the perceived special nature of the moment ‘now’ come from, and where do we get that dynamical sense of the flow of time? This
is a big unsolved mystery, and might remain that way for all time.
I don't see how, at least after granting that causality is a thing and relativity preserves it. One brain state leads to another, giving us working memory, and 'now' is no more mysterious than 'here'.
