I'm not sure I get the bullet analogy - but 'now', is always going to be too late, for a number of reasons.
1) It takes a finite amount of time for an event to effect us.
2) It takes a little longer for our chemical/electrical biology to have any awareness of such effects.
Since it takes time for us to become aware of anything, and even longer to respond, we are always living a tiny bit behind the 'now' and, unless we have powers of prediction (which we do - i.e. in the case of catching a ball) we'll forever be missing out on what's actually going on.
