B-Theory

The B-Theory of time suggests that past, present, and future are equally real, meaning all moments in time exist simultaneously. Unlike our everyday experience of "now" being special, B-Theory views time as a four-dimensional block where events are fixed in the fabric of spacetime. This implies that the flow of time or the sense of change is an illusion; everything simply exists, and the distinction between past, present, and future is relational rather than absolute. In essence, B-Theory sees time as a static landscape where all moments are equally real, not dynamically unfolding.
