I am always in front of you but can’t be seen.

I’m constantly approaching but never arrive.

You can try to outpace me, but you'll always follow me.

What am I?

This one’s been bugging you, right? You’ve probably gone back and forth, thinking of all the things you can’t see but know are there. Maybe you’ve even convinced yourself you’ve got it. But do you really? 🤔

Time to see if you’ve hit the jackpot or if this riddle's still playing tricks on you. Let’s find out! 🎉

The solution…

I am the future.

Let’s explain…

You’re likely already seeing it, but let’s have a look at the details:

  • Always in front of you but can't be seen: The future is ahead of us but is intangible and invisible.

  • Constantly approaching but never arrive: As time progresses, the future becomes the present, but the concept of "the future" is always ahead.

  • You can try to outpace me, but you'll always follow me: No matter how fast you go, you can't get ahead of the future; you're always moving into it.

Well, Riddlers, that’s a wrap for today! 🎬
