Future
In a linear conception of
time, the future is the portion of the time line that has yet to occur, i.e. the place in
space-time where lie all events that still will or may occur. In this sense the future is opposed to the
past (the set of moments and events that have already occurred) and the
present (the set of events that are occurring now).
