There is something special about this moment: that it is now. We talk about the “flow” of time, are tempted
to say “the now moves” and may find appealing the analogy of a spotlight sweeping
across a series of pictures. I am not,
here and now, going to defend the, philosophically controversial, moving
spotlight theory. What I am going to do is to show that we could have evidence,
not decisive evidence but pretty good evidence, that there were two or more
spotlight nows moving along the timeline, and perhaps moving at different
speeds, or even in different directions.
