i tend to think that "now" is another concept, like "purpose", that humans think is very important because that's the way our monkey brains have evolved
but that's because life itself is essentially a complicated form of causality, so we are incapable of experiencing reality as a continuum with past present and future all existing together where "now" has no intrinsic meaning beyond the ordinal position of that form in that continuum. That Einsteins relativism is the only way that we can accurately describe that reality, by its relation to other forms. There is no "hour" or "now", just an ordinal relationship of causality depending on the closeness of events and the observer. Therefore, I should not have to pay this parking ticket.
