Time Is A Fixed Physical Landscape

In this view of time, the past, present, and future are all equally real. Just as another city exists even when you are not there, your future birthdays are already waiting for you in the fabric of space-time.

Eternalism suggests that time is just another dimension like height or width, meaning our feeling of time passing is merely a subjective illusion. In this block universe, there is no objective flow of time because every moment has already occurred. This perspective treats human life like a finished movie reel that exists in its entirety rather than a live performance. It challenges our deep intuition that only the present moment truly matters.
