If yesterday has already happened, Then does it still exist, or is it just a memory. Does anything actaully exist outside of the moment we are experiancing right this second?
Cool question..I guess it could be viewed as past present and future and not being separate, but all walking side by side. I don't know if yesterday really goes away if some can still see people from the past walking around, people that have died. Also, if time is an illusion, then these three are all happening all at once, but we've fragmented it...
dunno, after all even what we are thinkin about right now is the past and not the absolute present, meaning that there is no difference between a person whose actually lived that moment or a dummy that has been planted with the same memories in their brains, theyll both believe the same thing and act the same way{in the same enviornment}, so u can never even be sure if YOU are indeed YOU and not just a couple of memories that MIGHT or MIGHT NOT have been yours or any1else's for that matter.
Your title is different to your question - is yesterday real - yes it is, we are product of yesterday. Does it still exist - no, it was and passed and it is no more. There is only now.

I've been thinking of time travel a bit lately, and I simply do not believe it is possible. The past is nothing; there is no way to travel upon the threads of time that compose it so that one could change something. Similarly, the future has not yet happened; one could not travel forth to something that does not exist. We live one moment at a time, and everything else is memory.

The physical past is gone, but it still
becomes part of the fabric of the present,
both through the continued existence of
the same physical world that existed a
second ago, as well as though memories
and the effect they have on our present
behavior.
'Today' is the result of 'yesterday'. Each step we've taken has led to this moment. What we have to understand is that what differenciates yesterday from today is only the shift of light to darkness>> a product of the progressions of the earth, etc.
Yesterday exists as every breath/ every step we took, yesterday, actually existed. Memory keeps yesterday real; if it isn't in our memory, it cannot exist to us.
ello there pipfoot you should read The Langoliers by Stephen King, he has a stab at explaining that.. it's a bit far-fetched, but a good read all the same!

Yesterday is gone and what matters is the present not the next day. Live the moment not the past or the future. For me yesterday existed but now is gone. Must move forward.
How do you know there are parts of the universe where time does not excist? If time does not excist that means there is nothing possible, because if they do not have there own time they have our time...
Just because Mars has no life doesn't mean it doesn't have time...
So basicly if there is no time, there is nothing there that can be defined because with something that can make you have time there is nothing there... Now don't even get me started about nothing because its an impossible question to answer, fact is however that without time there is nothing...
Now on the question is yesterday real?
Yesterday is as real as everything we know that isn't around us anymore, it was there... But does it still excist in anything else but our minds? No...
St. Augustine wondered what it is that makes the past and the future real. How can the past and the future exist, when the past is already gone and the future is yet to come? For men, both the past and the future are abstractions, constituted by the human mind. For human beings, they only exist in virtue of the present. In men' s experience, the present is all that exists. We will always exist in the present.
If you would travel back to the past, it would no longer be the past but the present.

This is somethin that I wondered in the past, whether our experience in the past, could have another term, since we are not merely just talking about the past/present... we are talking about overlappings...
