I will not delete it, as you guys say it is not pompous. That is good. Here is another way to do this same trick. Just as there is no space between objects, time is not real. You can focus in on the reveal post before it is made, if that makes sense. So I would not actually be viewing the item in the box but would be glimpsing information I 'will' know as soon as the item is revealed.
Think of these concepts in the terms of a video role playing game. Say in this game there are two cities and a mountain range in between. How much distance is there between them? None. they are only concepts, but as a player you get engrossed in climbing the mountain pass and so on. Now say you have saved your game every time you level up. How much time is there between your level 6 game and your level 20 game? Again, none. The construct with in the game has rules and physics that apply. The player can not walk through walls. Maybe gravity effects thrown objects. However, no walls exist. You can know that the wall does not exist, but the video image of your player still can not walk through it. That is unless you stop thinking of it as real and look at it as code. Then someone could examine the game from the point of view of a hacker, and suddenly all sorts of things are possible.
I am sorry if that only makes a little sense. Like I said, much of this is hard to put into language, but I try.
