What if the past does not exist yet?

It doesn't. First we have to get past the present.

And nostalgia ain't what it used to be. Then again, it never was.

In the beginning, there was the Glorp. The Glorp was without form, until Gaston made it into the Glorp 17. Wink

Actually just noticed this.

Was doing some homework and came with this idea when working through a problem.

It is called Vu Déjà, the theory that nothing has happened in the past.

Then there's the Vu Jàdé, which is the eerie, inescapable feeling, when you're in a particular situation, that you never want to be there again.

since you added "yet" , at the end,
wouldn't you just have to wait until it does?

doesn't "yet" imply up and coming?

"Yet" does not imply up and coming, only the that it has not happened to this point but is possible in the future. But simply being possible does not mean that it must happen eventually.

"Impending" would be something that has not happened yet but most probably will happen in the future.

I don't think we can say anything will happen in the future with absolute 100% probability.
