How you see time

Your view of what time fundamentally is.

What time fundamentally is — whether it flows or all moments exist at once — is genuinely open in philosophy and physics. A self-description of the view that fits you. (Philosophy of time)

Groups

• Time flows — Only the present is truly real (presentism).
• All-at-once — Past, present and future all equally exist (block universe).
• Growing block — The past and now are fixed; the future is open.
• An illusion — The 'flow' of time is a trick of the mind.
• Cyclical — Time turns in great cycles, not a straight line.
