For you the movie has been unknowingly paused, while in reality (that for others) it continues on. Until you wake up, you still believe you’re watching that movie. — simmerdown

Conscious moments are perceived approximately every 40-50 milliseconds — Bryon Ehlmann
But as mentioned, how can consciousness exist without an entity to experience it? — simmerdown
Well I simply think you cease being conscious of anything -- there is no experience at all at a certain point. You never become aware or know of when exactly that happens, but it does happen. There's a difference between replaying or being stuck in a moment and having a final thing you're conscious of and just ceasing to be aware of it, without being aware that you became unaware of it. I'd imagine in the former case - [the eternal experience of the final moment case] -you would recall being in a moment for an extended period of time - would you agree with that?So, when you are dreaming, at what point do you know that the dream is over and that you are no longer experiencing it? Answer: Not until you wake up. And if you've experienced general anesthesia, at what point do you know that you are not in the operating room being given the anesthesia? Answer: Not until you wake up (experiencing a new present moment). And if you never wake up?
The NEC is timeless. — Bryon Ehlmann
He suggests that because we will never perceive any indication that our consciousness has ceased when we die, we will continue this final state of consciousness forever and that in this state, time will become infinite. — simmerdown

How do you know there is a t1, if t1 itself isn't differentiated from what it isn't, from the others that it isn't? If t1 has no beginning and no end , then it isn't an existent at all. and if it begins, then it constitutes a difference.There is still the presence of the state occurring at t1. — Bryon Ehlmann
