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'.

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."
