I havn't registered for that site, but I've come to think of time as merely action in space; motion. In this sense there is not a "past". Think about this... we only remember the past with neurons in our brain... these neurons exist in the present however... they simply PRESENTLY hold information of a memory.
If nobody had the phenomenon of memory, which I think of as something equivalent to a bunch of 1's and 0's, then the concept of past might be alien and nonsensical. What about the future... that does not exist either I think. The "future" is really an educated prediction of how the ever-present "will" morph... this prediction is done with neurons which exist in the present also. I might be wrong but I havn't read anything that made me think otherwise, except for weird light speed travel which supposedly slows down clocks and shit which I either don't understand or think is flawed.
