Is Time An Illusion?

There seem to be two major theories currently. The theory that the vast majority of people have naturally come to accept because it's the most sensible from a simplified and personal perspective is that time is constantly flowing in all places continuously ― beginning to end. The less known and accepted theory is that every point in time exists simultaneously. To understand this, one can compare the universe to a DVD, Blu-Ray, etc. Any and all points within the movie exist on that disc simultaneously. It's simply a matter or rewinding or fast-forwarding to reach that point, and yet it moves in a coherent path on its own. What is your view on the subject? [spoiler]I'm writing a paper on this for my English Composition course in university. Could anyone provide links to good articles representing both sides of this debate?[/spoiler][spoiler]inb4[b]few[/b]replies[b]because[/b]stupid[b]people[/b] inb4[b]religion[/b]versus[b]atheism[/b] inb4[b]op[/b]is[b]imposter[/b] inb4[b]op[/b]cant[b]inb4[/b][/spoiler]

  • My brother and I were also talking about a theory that there are 2 universe's. One is going forward in time, and the other is going back. So, possibly we could be the ones going backward and when you think you're walking forward you're actually walking backwards, but you dont notice. Then, theres the Quantum Immortality Theory. which is my number 1 fear. Its like..when you die you are transported to another universe or make another universe and you restart your life alll over again. So when people say your fate is decided, its possible it actually is. Just, think of restarting your life over and over and over and over again forever. Idk about you, but that scares me. [spoiler]they arent theories about time, ik. But I think they're interesting amd I hope you do toc:[/spoiler]
