Note: This idea about time is my individual view and I think it may be right. :-)
Since childhood I used to wonder what really time is? A star that I see right now, was existed like the way I persevere now, atlest 4 light years ago. So every-time I see the sky, I am actually seeing the past! It is possible that the star I am seeing right now is in really no more in present moment. And I think that the star is the reality like this in present moment, which all of us know is not true! The point in sky where my eyes says there is star right now can actually be an empty space (the star may have died/explored)
Why to go so far in sky, even the things that we see close to us is also the past! Its just a matter of few light years or fraction of second! In reality, state of things that I see perceive through senses is all past. Now see, right now you are seeing your laptop/mobile. And you think that the device exists is there in the state that you are perceiving right now. But in reality light rays takes sometime to reflect/emit from the device and fall into your eyes. It is possible that by the time the light rays falls into your eyes the state of the device/object is changed. Though this time is negligible, but the time gap is there! The time gap increases as the distance of the object/device increases from you/observer. So what you see right now, can never be in present moment! And the world that you see right now is completely dependent of your time and space position relative to the objects you see. Similarly the world that I see is dependent on my time and space position relative to the objects I persevere. So in reality the world that I see is never same as the world you see! Meaning if at all both of us are true we definitely perceive the world differently.
Now lets come down from starts to the gadget to one's own body. As a computer engineer, I know that even to execute a simplest machine instruction, it takes some time. So does human body will do. It definitely will take sometime after the light rays falls on my eyes periphery to travel till retina and build the image. Now image formed on retina is upside down! The mind will again take sometime to decrypt the image and give me impression of how to world looks to me right now! (I still don't know what this me is now, will think over it later) So in reality everything that the senses tells me now actually happened in the past! So I am actually seeing the dead world :-P

Woww new angle of looking at the world around, the dead world ;) but I feel God has played a hell lot of trick in designing the world of illusion around us..even there is a time lapse we don't feel it.
