future : ''For the meaning in finance, see futures contract. For the meaning in computer science, see future (programming).'' ''.]]In a linear conception of time, the future is the portion of the timeline that has yet to occur, i.e. the place in space-time where lie all events that still have not occurred. In this sense the future is opposed to the past (the set of moments and events that have already occurred) and the present (time)present (the set of events that are occurring now).

The meaning of the future to mankind - The future has always had a very special place in philosophy and, in general, in the human mind. This is true largely because human beings need a forecast of events that will occur. It is perhaps possible to argue that the evolution of the human brain is in great part an evolution in cognitive abilities necessary to forecast the future, i.e. abstract imagination, logic and Inductive reasoninginduction. Imagination permits us to “see” a plausible model of a given situation without ''observing'' it (therefore mitigating risks). Logical reasoning allows one to predict inevitable consequences of actions and situations and therefore gives useful information about future events. Induction permits the association of a causationcause with consequences, a fundamental notion for every forecast of future time.Despite these cognitioncognitive instruments for the comprehension of future, the stochastic processstochastic nature of many natural and social processes has made forecasting the future a long-sought aim of many people and cultures throughout the ages. Figures claiming to see into the future, such as prophetprophets and divinationdiviners, have enjoyed great consideration and even social importance in many past and Present (time)present communities. Whole pseudo-sciences, like astrology, cheiromancy and economics originated with the aim of forecasting futures. Much of physical science too can be read as an attempt to make quantitative and objective predictions about events.The Future also forms a prominent subject for religion. Often religions offer prophecies about life after death and also about the end of the world. The conflict in ChristianityChristian religion between the knowledge of the future by God and the freedom of human will leads, for example, to the doctrine of predestination.

In cosmology - Two of the biggest questions cosmology seeks to answer are the Universe's creation ("how did it start?") and its Ultimate fate of the Universeultimate fate ("how will it end?"). To the latter question, there are several proposed solutions:

Despite observations, the universe may stay as it is forever (Steady state theory).

Gravity will overcome the outward velocities and all matter will collapse back into a singularity. This is the theory of the Big Crunch. This is a precursor to the oscillatory universe.

Gravity cannot overcome the outward velocities, and heat-death of the Universe will occur. Or, if the expansion of the universe is accelerating, the Big Rip may occur.

In grammar - main Future tense In grammar, the future is a tense or a mood (grammar)mood used to refer to events that have yet to happen.

Future tense in English - Strictly speaking, English does not have a future tense as such, that is, a verb form specifically used to talk about the future. When the English future tense is mentioned, usually it refers to present-tense (or rather, "non-past"-tense) constructions using the modal verb ''will'' or ''shall'' used to discuss the future: ''In the future, everybody will be famous for fifteen minutes''. As with other moods, this mood is also available in the past, using "would," the past tense of "will": ''He thought he had his whole life ahead of him; little did he know that the next day, he would die in a car crash.''Several other modal forms are also used to refer to the future, including:# With "going to": ''I'm going to do something.'' For intention and prediction, and also for infinitive and continuous situations where "will" is unavailable (''to have seen, to see, to be going to see''). # Present Continuous: ''I'm learning English next year.'' For prior plan.# Present Simple: ''Tomorrow I go into the hospital.'' Used for schedule.

Future tenses and periphrastic constructions in Romance languages - Languages that have a true future tense include the Romance languages; most also have a periphrastic construction, like English. For example, French languageFrench has a true future tense ''j'aimerai, tu aimeras, il aimera'' (from ''aimer,'' to love), but the future is most commonly expressed with the verb ''aller'' as an auxiliary: ''je vais aimer, tu vas aimer, il va aimer''.As in English, this periphrastic construction is also available in the past, by conjugating ''aller'' to the imperfect: ''j'allais voir'' "I was going to see". Depending on grammatical context, this can sometimes be done with the conditional: ''Le lendemain, il reconnaîtrait son erreur'' (The day after, he would recognize his mistake). Confusingly, Catalan languageCatalan uses the verb ''anar'' for periphrastic constructions both in the future (with the preposition ''a'') and the past (without the preposition). In other words, ''jo vaig a veure'' is "I will see"; ''jo vaig veure'' is "I saw." Many Romance languages use the future tense not to express a real future but to refer to a supposition or a statement about habit, for example in Spanish languageSpanish: ''serán las once'' ("It will be 11 o'clock," meaning "I suppose it's around 11, it must be 11 by now").

camino blue recordings
Camino Blue Recordings is a new label founded by dj´s/event promoters/ artists digital souls from Nuremburg, Germany, and artist p.b.k. from Paderborn, Germany. Both of them have been working in the German Drum & Bass scene for several years, concentrating on a musically progressive sound. While digital souls have been managing events all over the country with artists like Blame, Storm, Paradox, Seba or ASC, just to name a few, p.b.k. was focused on productions for labels like Bassface Sascha´s, Smokin´Drum or Warm Communications Rec from Dallas/USA. They met at a mutual gig and soon found that they were into they same style of Drum & Bass music. Some years later, they decided that it was the right time for them to start a label of their own which combines both energetic dancefloor beats and science fiction sounds. It would be wrong to just call it atmospheric or mellow since they want to hit the dancefloor, too. With cutting edge breaks and groovin´ basslines Camino Blue Tracks create a deep mood and, the funky basslines keep the crowd movin´. First releases include a compilation cd named the adventures of astral pirates and several 12 vinyl releases with tracks from artists such as greenfly, future engineers, p.b.k., asc & motion or mark j to name but a few.
