Ponder only the one dimensional time for now. At every point of time, you have only this moment and nothing more. But with the memories, you have same previous moments cached. Stored somewhere "orthogonal" to the timeline.

On a site even better than this and quite unpopular on this site, also. Read or watch Dyson there. As many others.

Is Edge the more unpopular site, or are you thinking of someplace else?

For what it's worth, I don't have anything against Edge, I just get bored reading it, even when the question is something I'm interested in.
