A page is "special" in the sense that a location in memory is special when it's the current address. It's not the page, it's the relation between the page and the words on the page that are referring to the page. "Now" is a state of relation between a mind and a timeslice. This is confusing because the state is two-dimensional - time is a line from past to future, but each mind in each point on it contains a model of time that has its own past and future. The sense of ordering of time that arises in conscious experience is a side effect of causality - if you think about how brains work, the question "why is the present the present and not the past or the future" is actually incoherent, a confusion about mind instead of a confusion about reality. By definition, we perceive the present as the point at which we are "currently" introspecting about perception.

Imagine somebody moved the entire universe and all matter in it thirty minutes into the future. Would you notice any difference?

Brains run on physics. Every story in your mind has, by necessity, a purely physical narrative behind it.
