For man, time can't just disappear without a trace, because it's subjective, belongs in the category of spirituality. The time we lived through are stored in our soul as layers of experience bound by time. In some ways the past is much more real or at least more stable and constant than the present. The present is ever elusive and disappears like sand through fingers and only achieves material weight in memory.
