There is no such thing as time or future, only the present. The secret about the opposites, is they appear as different as can be, but they are connected and they work together. Explaining Earth's north and south poles, magnetic poles & magnets, opposites attract and/or work together and are needed. Newton's Laws of motion, theory of relativity, inertia.
