Metaphysics of Time

The metaphysics of time explores questions about the nature of time itself—whether it exists independently, how past, present, and future relate, and if all moments are equally real or only the present. Philosophers debate whether time is an objective feature of the universe or a human construct. Some argue time flows, with a distinct "now," while others see all moments as equally existent in a four-dimensional block. These discussions delve into understanding whether change is fundamental or an illusion and how time connects with reality at a fundamental level.
