The future is now, old man
I don't have my hoverboard yet. It can't be the future.
Imagine the liability if they did exist. Lose your balance? Became a 2-dimensional being on impact.
I fail to see much increased risk over a traditional skateboard TBH
If you see it being used in movies, it is usually quite high of the ground.
The hoverboard from back to the future is never that high off the ground. It is the one I've been waiting for. There is no other.
I quote this way too often around my dad. I think it's actually starting to upset him

It does not begin.
It moves ahead of your perceptions.
That said everything has already happened all at once and is over. Our sensual reality refuses to see that. We are too small to see it.
No physical mechanisms predefines future events (or is there one ?).
So, I could state that the future does not exist yet and the past as ceased to exist.
in that statement I have a problem with the definition of existence. Does the definition of existence exist itself ? This is (is it ?) more a problem of terminology than philosophy or physics.
The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed.The Economist, December 4, 2003, William Gibson
Calculus is just starting to become general knowledge.
In one second or less
Anthropologically speaking this is the best answer. Our brain needs a certain span of time to establish perceived reality.
Now plus the amount of time it takes a photon to move the Planck length.
t_furure_min = t_now + 5.391247 × 10^-44 seconds
long double future_time = static_cast(time(nullptr)) + (5.391247L * pow(10.0L, -44.0L))
Fixed-precision arithmetic would probably be more appropriate here, but since I'm lazy, long double works. Although I am curious now if a long double has sufficient precision to give a meaningful value for this.

Do I have time to grab a beer?
Always, buddy. Grab a cold one for me too. Cheers.
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.
Wow, that's some impressive writing :)
Thanks. I'm not a native English speaker, but my mom was a literature teacher in Kansas, so consequently I had to learn the language (I'm Dominican).
It is a human concept that does not exist in reality, the future could for the universe have the same value of the past, the great snake eating its tail
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.
Basically, we are fucked.
That happened yesterday weren't you at the meeting?
The future is in the future
And the past is a victory walk
Well I need to make you understand, girl
I'M A MAN NOT A DISCO BALL!
Colonel Sandurz: Try here. Stop. Dark Helmet: What the hell am I looking at? When does this happen in the movie? Colonel Sandurz: Now. You're looking at now, sir. Everything that happens now, is happening now. Dark Helmet: What happened to then? Colonel Sandurz: We passed then. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. We're at now now. Dark Helmet: Go back to then. Colonel Sandurz: When? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: Now? Dark Helmet: Now. Colonel Sandurz: I can't. Dark Helmet: Why? Colonel Sandurz: We missed it. Dark Helmet: When? Colonel Sandurz: Just now. Dark Helmet: When will then be now? Colonel Sandurz: Soon. Dark Helmet: How soon?
