"In the year 2050, a movie is being made of your life. Please tell us the name of your movie and briefly summarize the story line."
The Nothingness of Time
In 2021, Mark Sanders, a philosophy professor from a small Midwestern community college publishes an article in a national philosophy journal entitled, "The Nothingness of Time," in which he provides a logical argument claiming the nonexistence of time as a realistic construct. Unexpectedly, the idea is picked up by a number of media outlets and becomes a worldwide viral sensation, sparking debate among people of a variety of beliefs. Prof. Sanders finds himself at the head of a worldwide movement that advocates the existence of the present moment as the only observable reality. As the movement grows, people throw off the burdens of the past and their fear of the future to embrace living in the present moment. Prof. Sanders continues to write and lecture worldwide, eventually winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2042.
