I know that feel anon.

But don't worry, once the universe ceases to be, you won't have to worry about the present, or the past, or the future...

>once the universe ceases to be
It won't happen in my lifetime, so I do have to worry.

Everything I can learn has already happened. Listening to my professor whine, a couple things need to happen: the sound must reach my ears, then be picked up by cells and transmitted into electrical signals, then sent along neurons and process by my brain. By the time I register it, the information is no longer from the present. While I'm sitting, trying to understand, the universe has already passed on. Despite the vast amount of information out there, I'll never know or understand most of it.
I feel shut off, bottlenecked.

Those are all only ideas. Your now is the only now.

Read some Kant and Hume. Break yourself out of that trap where you think your ideas about reality are an accurate reflection, deal with a real existential crisis, and call me in a decade when you start studying math and physics again with a postmodern philosophical basis.

Meditation seems to work for me.
