There is no such thing as now. The line where the ‘now’ exists is between the future and the past. And that line has no thickness. Are we really alive if our entire perception is only of events that have happened in the past?
But what is the now? It is a sliver of time that has no thickness. It is a point in time that well… has no length of time. 0 picoseconds. Thus does it even exist? Your entire perception is of things that only occurred in the past. When you say ‘right now’, immediately the now you are referring to is already the past. And like you say, the past doesn’t exist anymore either.
The world of a second ago no longer exists either.

It’s the opposite: the past doesn’t exist anymore and the future is only imagined. All there is is the now.
