We see the past. Always.

The law of solipsism states that we cannot be sure of the existence of things outside of our mind. As our experience is derived from our mind, that encompasses all that is there in life. This may all be an illusory simulation, a universe created by a young alien sitting in another dimension plugging away at a device able to create such a relatively incomprehensible mess. For the alien, it may just be a throwaway hobby or even a toy gimmick, much like a Tamagotchi, being nothing more than a conversation piece with his (not assuming, just making it easier) alien friends all having their own little universes they can tweak, heal, destroy, etc. My meta-hypothesis, though undeveloped, tries to explain the emergence of our experience in a few steps.

First Step: Input information. Sensory organs gather information about the environment around us (eyes, ears, etc.). Neurons inside our body also do the same every where they are sensing. This information, in the form of action potentials (ions moving down the axon) goes to the brain into the same regions that they always do, since neurons are stationary and planted in the same areas as they always are.

Second Step: Interpretation: After the information has reached the brain, it is released out of the neuron through its synaptic cleft (the border or No Mans Land between neurons) situated at the end of the neuron, aptly named the axon…
