A New World Is Born... There is no logical impossibility in the hypothesis that the world sprang into being five minutes ago, exactly as it then was, with a population that [b]remembered[/b] a wholly unreal past.

There is no logically necessary connection between events at different times; therefore nothing that is happening now or will happen in the future can disprove the hypothesis [b]that the world began five minutes ago.[/b]

BERTRAND RUSSELL, The Analysis of Mind

That's a pretty mind-blowing idea; but if you go down that route, you cannot be sure anything is real at all...

conflicting is we. Nature is just least bothered, for its program is perpetual. We consider ourselves as Living being, but to nature, we are just time beings.. trying to take control of it by journalising it through books that we never allow to die.

Isn't such consideration, control, journal, disallow part of the intentions ? Which other Nature B's intentions is there ? There is just one Nature and no other place where intentions arise or is there Nature A which intended well and Nature B who prompted us into conflict ? . If they do, where from do they arise then ?

Nature, in its nature, evolves as it revolves. Everything is intended well for that moment only, but is in conflict with the future. Like what is built is only a scaffolding for the future. And nature too has to obey nature. So human memory is the only way it carries things to future. So it creates a certain program to achieve certain things and also creates another program to destroy the program to just gain knowledge.. but like all pre-programmed and running in layers, in between extremes and amidst alternatives. Like how in IT we have a master routine and sub-routine and sub-sub and so on.. and any sub-routine going in a loop beyond time limits get killed. So even the intention to intend was intended.

Or, Logic is the wrong tool to find out when the world began.
