Your thoughts: The universe, everything in it, and all memories were created one Planck second ago.

As in, one Planck second ago, nothing existed; now, everything exists--all memories, ideas, formations, math, science, etc. was created. Because why? Philosophy, that's why. I like philosophy, and I like hearing other people's notions of philosophy, especially cosmological, mathematical, and existential philosophy.

unfortunately I can't prove you are wrong, still that's what comes of being just a brain in a pail!

You cant prove I'm wrong? Do explain. I can see how, but I want to hear your side of it.

well, since I can't prove (for instance) that everything I see and feel is not just some "matrix style" illusion, then by the same argument I can't be sure of any fact, there is no objective evidence that the moment I see "now" has any connection to the moment that existed (take any time unit) ago. In fact the very nature of time is not understood, nor how the "arrow of time" moves. I choose to treat the world as though it has always existed as it appears to do, but if I accept the idea that I cannot prove my own reality - everything else is up for grabs!

True. Very true. You can't prove you exist, either.
