Is history only the past or is it all times?
I think, that it is all times, but mainly the past.
History is only in the past.
The present is a moving target -- the moment you think about something
that is happening it is already past. And thinking about future events
is not history but prediction.
There may be small differences in different languages. In Estonian language 'history' is 'ajalugu'. It consists of two words - 'aja', which means 'time's',
and 'lugu', which means 'story'. One dictionary about Estonian language says, that 'ajalugu' is
the process of society's and nature's development or the science about it. German-Estonian dictionary says, that German word 'Geschichte' can mean 'history', but also 'story'. Some history books end with predictions.
