What are your thoughts?

Scientist say, and Einstein included, that the future, and the past, does not exist. That only now, exist. And that time is a concept of humans, and is not a universal law. I'm sort of lost on this. What are your thoughts on this?

We only exist in the present.
The past may only be a concept for our better understanding,
same for the future, but they're both real. I have pictures to prove it! [well, the past anyway]

Why sure..only the here and now exist. The past is gone and the future is not here yet. Only time at hand and man made a clock. The only true time is sunrise and sunset and the seasons.

We call the past "the dead past" for a reason. It is dead and gone, except for the memories of it that we carry. The future exists only as a hope that we will have continuance from one moment to the next. Time is the way that humans perceive their own progression through their lives, and it is the way that humans perceive the birth and death of stars and the crumbling of shorelines. It is a human concept, and a human dimension; a way for us to process entropy.

I agree with them.

Time is a human construct used as a measurement. Existence is being in the here and now. So, time that has passed isn't tangible anymore. The future has yet to occur so again, it doesn't exist.

Both the past and the future are present for the Eternal.

That sounds about right, although I think a few days ago there was some recent discovery relating to that in quantum physics which I can't really remember.

So also wouldn't be too surprised if there is a timeline.
The main theory is that our organic brains have to perceive time as they can't handle everything at once

No matter how you choose to view it, it's always NOW.

A longer period of time maybe?

Everything in nature follows some sort of cycle or pattern, but it has no concept of time. That is a human concept (clocks, calendars, etc.) that we follow. The past is gone never to return and the future is not guaranteed.
