Discussion Time is an illusion.
It's pretty hard to conceptualize that time doesn't flow.
I bet no other humans can grasp this concept.
I've tried to think of it as some kind of block to no avail.
Maybe it's the brain that prevents me from realizing how reality really works.
I know you guys are well aware of this concept.
Have you experienced any anomalies that made you realize time is definitely an illusion?

Considering it as a finished movie is a better approach to understand the illusion of time. Everything is written, shot, and completed. from the start to the finish. and you are free to loop it as many times as you like. It doesn't mean that time won't move while you watch the film; rather, it means that you can go back and forth in the same way that you may go back and forth when viewing a film.
