now is a bit variable
but it's under 300 milliseconds unless you arrange some quite specific situations, like Bose-Einstein condensates. Basically, you can stretch out now for as long as you can stop a superposition from collapsing, and even then only in the local area of the particle in a superposition.
Also, the set of all sets does contain itself, but does the set of all sets which do *not* contain themselves contain itself?

It's very fucking variable.
If you could instantly snapshot all the nows across the observable universe (accounting for every kind of time lag/latency) they would not all describe the same moment in terms of causality and the next tick of their quantum woo clocks would all diverge from each other according to local gravity, velocity and distance from each other. So there is no absolute now, only a fuzzy relative now, human perception of time is probably total bullshit, there are worlds out there where the sky is burning, where the sea's asleep and the rivers dream, people made of smoke and cities made of song. Somewhere there's danger, somewhere there's injustice and somewhere else the tea is getting cold. Come on, Ace, we've got work to do.

"Now" is as long as it takes to say the word "Now"

Russells paradox is about "the set of all sets that are NOT members of themselves"
