Default Riddle Time! (no pun intened)

Because I'm bored, I have a riddle for everyone. My friend told me this a while ago and I want to see if anyone can solve the riddle. He calls it a riddle, but I say it's a brain teaser or just a philosophical thing...

"If the past is what just happened, and the future is what will happen, how can the present exist?

what exactly is the present? if the if your thinking the second that we're in, divide that second in half, and you'll get half a second, but you can divide that half second in half again, and the division just goes on and on into infinity! So does the present exist at all???"

It hurt my head for a while, and he said I actually got the riddle right when I told him my answer. What would you say is the answer to the riddle?

"Present" is a word to describe what is going on now, even though I don't really believe in a Present time, only past and future
