This is a paradox guys, get ready:
For something to physically exist it must be present for a duration of time. Just as an object cannot lack length, width, or depth, it needs duration—an “instantaneous” object, one that doesn’t last for any amount of time, does not exist at all.
According to universal nihilism, the past and future occupy no time within the present. Furthermore, it is impossible to quantify the duration of what we call the present. Any amount of time that you assign to the present can be temporally divided into parts of past, present, and future. If the present is one second long, then that second can be divided into three parts. The first part is then the past, the second part is the present, and the third is the future. The third of a second that is now considered the present can be further divided into three more parts. This division can occur indefinitely.
Therefore, the present can never truly exist as it never occupies a set duration of time. Universal nihilism uses this argument to claim that nothing ever exists.
Ouch..😅 yea now my brain hurts
