Surely it this ongoing process which creates our very necessary sense of the flow of time. Thus we know whom we are, where we've been, where we're at and where we're going. My interest in science fiction began in high school in 1951. I soon became a science fiction fan and avidly read magazines and novels and also fan publications. I enjoyed reading stories about time travel, even though the idea seemed quite impossible.
Nothing happens in the past and nothing happens in the future.
This early analysis led to my contribution of an article 1954 in a science fiction fan magazine. A long time ago. I had unrealistic ideas of submitting the article to a science fiction magazine, but of course, this didn't happen. Instead, I was attending Ohio University as a physics major and expected one day to have the doctorate, which would be needed to get my ideas on time seriously considered . This also didn't happen.
