<span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: What happened to then?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: We passed then.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: When?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: Go back to then.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: When?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: Now.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: Now?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: Now.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: I can't.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: Why?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: We missed it.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: When?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: Just now.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Colonel Sandurz: Soon.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Dark Helmet: How soon?

The future is only a false perception of tomorrow, an illusion. Today you might say that tomorrow would be the future, but when tomorrow comes, you will do the same. The future does not exist, since time is not something static, is progressive.
This reminds me of the sign on the wall of a bar: “Free beer tomorrow.”
The future never begins. Once it begins, it’s the present. And the present? Well it’s gone already, isn’t it? The past, on the other hand, is full to bursting with absolutely every fucking thing that’s ever been. Only problem? The past doesn’t exist, and never will.
I feel like we’re in it lately with: the lab grown meat, 3D printing building and drones, CRISPR technology, and even something as “basic” as our smartphones.
At this point the only thing that I’m waiting for is space travel 😎
Edit: ugh, just read the rest of the responses and people are such bummers
Thank you for your answer! Nice to see something besides a literal interpretation of the question (Though to be fair, it was also the first thing that popped in my head :)
Anyway, I have to agree with you. A lot of things that seemed almost impossible or ridiculously far-fetched when I was little are now common place or close to becoming reality. And I’m not even that old! (forever in my early thirties coughcough)
