Cyclic time

Cyclic time is the concept that time moves in repeating cycles rather than a straight line from past to future. This idea is found in many cultures and philosophies, where events like seasons, lunar phases, or cosmic ages recur predictably. Instead of a single, one-way progression, cyclic time suggests that history and phenomena repeat periodically, creating patterns and rhythms in nature and human life. It emphasizes continuity and renewal, providing a view of existence as an ongoing series of cycles rather than a linear journey from beginning to end.
