Physics and Metaphysics of Time

Physics views time as a dimension akin to space, studied through concepts like relativity, where time can bend and flow differently depending on speed and gravity, making it flexible yet measurable. Metaphysics explores the nature of time beyond physical laws, pondering whether it’s an actual existing thing or a human construct, and if past, present, and future are real or illusions. Together, they examine whether time is a fundamental aspect of reality or a helpful way humans organize experiences. Time remains a profound mystery bridging scientific understanding and philosophical questions about existence and reality.
