Eternalism

Eternalism is a philosophical view about time that suggests all moments in time—past, present, and future—are equally real. According to this perspective, time is like a landscape where every event exists together, rather than flowing like a river. In Eternalism, the present isn't more significant than the past or future; instead, all moments are part of a single, unified timeline. This contrasts with presentism, which holds that only the present is real. Eternalism challenges our intuition about time and encourages us to think of existence as more interconnected than we might usually perceive.
